Sarracenia seedling

[Neppie]

I did have a seed germ and the whole time i thought it was a nepenthes as it was sent to me as a pack of mixed nepenthes hybrids. lol- well it's not! It is a sarr, and it appears to be a hooded sarr. Can anyone tell me likely species, it is maybe a hybrid, and any growing tips. I transplanted it and it is thriving! thanks!!!

Hi Neppie,
All Sarracenia seedlings with their very first pitchers look a bit like minor, but it is too early to say. Why not post a picture next year then we could try and identify it for you when they have reached a decent size?
