Psst... Pssst... artificialive... he place it in his garden just near the fence. lets go and "poach" it from his garden... heee, heee, heeee...
Hmm, on the other hand, I did see a huge rotweiller in his house. It's a worthwhile risk tho'. We might loose a hand but get a beautiful hooded pitcher plant... wahh, hhhaaaahh, haaaaa...

I didn't really put it to dormancy all this while, but the growth stopped before as plant shrunk to smaller size. I think that was the time when it went dormant. But I still left it there untouched, later on I changed the potting media and the plant start growing again.
I think I should train my dog to go vegetarian from now on.

Jokes aside TS, the whole plant grows quite flat on the ground huh? Is this normal in the wild or cultivation? I thought the pitcher would stand upright. Hmm, perhaps it was grown under direct sun?

Btw TS, u shared the same pot with a vft? Yes, I planted a few VFTs with the Sarra. What medium you use to plant your sarrs? For this pot, I used 2:1 peat and sand. |

This plant grew that way since small, strangely it grows towards one direction to the side, not upwards. |

Hi yctan, A good plant for you to start with is Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa-definetly among the easiest to grow of the Sarracenia's. If you can find it, Sarracenia flava var. flava is also very good for a begginer. Aside from these two, any hybrid would be good, but be aware that if you buy a hybrid without a label from a supermarket or public nursery etc. you will never find out what that hybrid is and it could be some weak clone, so I would try to get Sarracenia from reputable surces from the internet if you can. But once you grasp cultivation techniques for basic Sarracenia, you can grow virtually every one, since they are all similar and all have very similar growing conditions. That looks like a very well grown plant cactusst, if you are lucky it will flower next year, and if not the year after definetly-it looks almost big enough. Keep at it.  Dino |

Robert, yes I provide cold stratification in the fridge for about 4 weeks before I sow the seeds.
Cosmoking, how I wish it flower for me, hehe. It is growing much bigger now.
yctan, to me I found all my sarras growing easily in our climate. Sarras and VFTs are sun loving plants, they thrive very well in our hot weather, the most difficult part is the dormancy that we have to provide. The sarras that selling in our nurseries normally are placed in shade, they are mostly in awful condition, but once you grow them in the right way, they'll reward you with their beauty.
Cheers
TS
