Default Re: kltower: How tall can Sarracenia grow?

I have a tallish S. Leucophylla now, and would like to check what to do or what is wrong if the Pitchers do not stand on it's own? Too little sunlight? etc. The photo of Sunbelle with the 4 foot pitchers showed that they can grow tall without falling over. So I wonder if it might be because of winds in my area, nutrition or lighting that is not allowing my Sarracenias to stand on their own.

As of now I use a stick and a loop of wire tie similar to the photo posted by Choong at the bottom of this page to keep the pitchers bunched together and to support them.

Other than leaning to one side, the pitchers seems to be green and healthy and new growth are obvious.

TTFN
