danielfurman634 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 I bought a sarracenia and a drosera capensis a few hours ago and I found that this amazing pitcher had a pebble stuck in it. I want to save the pitcher as it looks beautiful but I'm not sure how. Also, could someone tell me what species this is. Thanks! :)Sent from my K4000_PRO using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my K4000_PRO using Tapatalk oh yeah I am not a carnivorous plant guy so pls forgive me the only thing I can think of is like slowly pushing it out like you take out those Mr freeze things or put a lollipop stick next to it and roll it up?

Yossu Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Sarracenias don't generally have liquid in the pitchers (or at least, none of mine do, and I have a hundred or so!), so you don't need to worry about that. Even if they did, like Nepenthes, you could just top them up with rain water after turning the plant the right way up. i would put it gently on one side, and see if you can squeeze the pitcher a little below the pebble that might dislodge it. If you can't, then I would just leave it. That pitcher may die, but have plenty more on the plant. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielfurman634 Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Thanks. I managed to get it out but with a small pocket being made on the side of the pitcher... Sent from my K4000_PRO using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yossu Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Glad you got it out. Don't worry too much about the hole. That pitcher may die off, but your plant looks healthy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilacina Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 But the pitcher would have also been died with the pebble in it,so what´s different now by taking it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yossu Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Good point, and well presented! To quote Mark Twain... "I was pleased to be able to answer quickly... I said I didn't know!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
