Your plant is most probably S. x chelsonii. You need to give it full sunlight to bring out the red colour. You won't get seeds if you do not pollinate your Sarracenia flower. Do you pollinate the flower?

[allenphoon]

Hmm...but i very sure that i gave it 100% light!!!
Strangely, it just appear a red and lots of green when i cover it with a plastic cover...
Hehe, i did not do that, because that time i was on my National Service....just hope that God got help me pollinate when the flower rise up when it bloom.....Hehe...

so， how long does my sarracenia need to take in order to have it's seed done? Can anyone help me?

My experience is 4 months if you pollinate the flower. Full sunlight means direct sun from morning until evening. No need to worry about the hot temperature. Mine survive very well although the temperature exceed 40 degree Celcious.

Oh....how about S. Purpurea? Could it survive well?
