Sarracenia in Kula, Maui

[kulamauiman]

forgot to post this oddity. Again this is a seedling from S. leucophylla Hurricane Creek, Alabama. Height wise it seems like a runt but it is putting out tons to tiny almost pitcher. It is in a 3 inch pot.

That's really cute!

Kula, my S. leucophylla 'Hurricane Creek White' started out that way as well. It made small pitchers for the first year and then all of a sudden put out a pitcher 3 times the size of the others. Don't be surprised when much larger growth comes out of nowhere

Wow how old are they?

Wow how old are they?

seeds were started in March 2009. Keeping them warm and well lit on a long photo period prevented them from going dormant. Them moved them outside to re sync with the normal seasons.

Have you tried osmocote pellets in the soil? I did that with mine... a CPN states how to do this, and there is quite an acceleration in growth. The treatment group faired much better than the control group.

Aloha Phil,

I did try the osmocote fertilizer and it works. Just if you over do it I tend to get a moss, liverwort explosion and they overrun the seedlings. Finding that burring the fertilizer pellets may reduce this explosion
