I just bought a Sarracenia at Home Depot today, cause I'm softhearted, and have wanted one for a looong time now. The container it came in was labeled Sarracenia Purpurea, but it's not...even close. I think it's a flav, with a hybrid cross, but I can't find a picture close enough. Here:
So anyway, what do you guys think it is? This is my first Sar, so, I really don't know other than basing it on other pics.
Anyway, the real question: When I got it, it was in long fibered sphagnum, but it was drier than bones. I brought it home quickly and got it into a decent sized 4 inch pot ( it was 2 plants in a 2 inch pot) and put it in my terrarium. Now, I don't know if I should grow it outside. After advice in another topic, I recently moved my VFT's outside. I live in Seattle, will this particular Sar survive outside? If so, how so should I pot it? And will the wilted pitchers (about 10 total) recover from the damage done by the dry media?
I know you can't tell very well, but the pitchers are pretty dry and wilty.
