Default Re: saraccenia in tropical climate

Hi Malowie, Marcos is right about the flowering. Are they flowering after you have had them for sometime or is it flowering just after you get teh plants. If it is just after you purchase them where are you sourcing them from? If you are getting mature plants from a temperate/cool area then it may be a case of the plants not aclimatising and you should perhaps try plants that have been growing in tropical conditions for some time. The plants also require very wet conditions when growing especially in het climates. It may be that they are not receiving enough water and this is leading to dehydration. As an example psittacina, in it's natural environment, is often submerged in water during part of it's growing season.
