Default Re: kltower: How tall can Sarracenia grow?

Thanks TS, I guess I should try taking them of the hoop/support from time to time and see if they can stand on their own. I just measured my S. Leucophylla and it's about 2 feet long, I think it can stand on it's own if there is no wind. Will try and then take a photo of it to show you guys. They are in a 3 inch high pot, around 3 inch wide, not sure if time to repot, but they seem to like their current environment (aside from leaning). I can also try to lower them more so that the wall of the veranda will protect them from wind.

This is CP topic in general, but though we always see people saying something like put them under 2 inches of water, they really don't have a standard on how tall or big the pot is. If the pot is say 5 inches high, 2 inch will mean 3 inch of not soaked medium. While my 3 inch pots basically only have 1 inch or maybe even 1/2 of inch which is not soaking. Still the Sarras love it. I will post a question about soaking D. Capensis though (in the right topic/forum), I have a feeling they don't like to have their feet wet too much.

TTFN
