Sarracenias are all cared for about the same way. Full sun sitting in 1" of water. Those 2 are both hybrids. I'm not very good at IDing hybrids sorry.

Hybrids are often more vigorous and stronger. Even the "pure forms" there are many types each. There aren't really any "pure forms", just the ones that were discovered first.

LIsham : the 2nd sarracenia could be s.purpurea x flava...the first, i`m not sure.
errrr, why do i see sand the water trays ? for water retention ? how clean is it ?
btw, it`s better if the s.psittacina gets a lot more water especially if it`s just replanted. i`m kinda scared it will get dehydrated if you maintain the water levels so low. water levels at half the pot`s height or slightly more would be advised.
fyi, my sarracenias sit in about 4" of water or more, especially if I use the 10 " high pots. i think your water levels are too low for both pots as well. They look like they need to be repotted especially the first one coz the medium has sunk in and looks a bit black in the pic. Try not to use ceramic water trays, they tend to accumulate minerals.....
cheers Lisham...your collection is growing.
