Default Re: kltower: How tall can Sarracenia grow?

Hi Arvin, I think the main reason why our S.flava toppled is because of the wind and rain. When the pitcher toppled once (by rain or by wind) especially when the pitcher is still young, the "bruise" will be permenant, it'll never stand by it's own again, probably will need some support by then. But I found that when the pitcher gets older, the pitcher wall gets thicker and tougher, normal wind will have no effect on it, unless strong wind or heavy downpour.
