Re: My one and only Sarracenia
Hi Alienfx. Generally flava grows to about 1 metre tall. It is rare that they get taller than this. As for the traps falling over. If the traps are left to develop without support they will generally be more likely to withstand wind a lot better. You could try placing other plants around it as a buffer to the wind.
When a trap opens that will be it's height. They do not continue to grow. You should find however that you pitcher height should continually increase unless the plant goes into dormancy. This can be tricky to predict in tropical areas. The flava's produce different leaves if this is the case. These leaves are not carnivorous.
