Hi P Mui and welcome to the list. Discussions have been lively lately.

I do not mist my Sarracenia, which grow wonderfully in outdoor bogs. My
guess is that it's not necessary to mist them indoors although others on
the list who grow indoors will have a more experienced response. I have
grown seedlings indoors under fluorescent lights without misting and
have had not problems. The humidity indoors is kept around 60% with
mist humidifiers.

David
