denmark.dk Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Hi everybody I have a Sarracenia Alata, which still produces pitchers. Is this common to this species? I keep it in a cold house, and there has been some brief chills. A few weeks ago we had -8 degree celsius, but then i put some candlelights out there, since I also grow some Leucophyllas. Anyone else experiensing this? Sorry for my spelling :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billynomates666 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 hi denmark.dk Its certainly not common in this species in my experience, they are normally one of the first to stop producing pitchers with the onset of dormancy. Why that one is still producing pitchers I don't know, but it looks healthy and happy, just let it get on with it, it will sort itself out in due course.

denmark.dk Posted January 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi Steve Thanks for your reply. It was my understanding, that Alata was growing pitchers into early autumn like Leucophyllas. I'm just concerned that it wont go into dormacy and be weak next year.

Alexis Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Quite common to get late pitchers on alata. If it gets too cold, it'll abandon new pitchers and they just stop growing midway through. Dormancy won't be a problem. 20C days are common in the wild in the southern states in winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
