Hi Arvin, your pitchers will self support if they have too. i.e. if you remove the hoops you may find that your oldr pitchers will fall over as they are not used to supporting themselves. You will find however that the new pitchers will support themselves if they develop without the support.

TS, You make a good point about the Sarra being drier during dormancy. It is obviously more difficult for tropical growers who don't have the defined seasons. While in active growth though Sarra's do require very wet soil. Species such as purpurea and psittacina are often submerged for periods during their growth period and minor can grow on sphagnum floating on a swamp. Often pitchers are smaller and weaker if insufficient water is given.
