Yeah Wim, it makes your plants suck. ;-Q That's punishment enough!

BTW, some Sarracenia need great amounts of room. One clone I
have of S.flava needs about ten gallons of root run to get to
it's maximum height of 42 inches. I saw eliolated versions of
the same population reaching well over four feet as they snaked
through shrubs and small trees to the light.
