danielfurman634 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 So I just recently got these plants and with help from Reddit, I've confirmed they're Sarracenia Purpurea and Psittacina but I kind of need some tips to grow them. I've been an avid fan for 10+ years now and after getting more than 25 plants, none of them have survived so I definitely need some help to let them last at least a year. I knew what I wanted before I went to the garden centre but didn't know which ones fit the specification: Basically, a good, hardy plant for beginners for a North facing kitchen windowsill or South facing bedroom windowsill. I want to try and keep one in my bedroom for a year but I'm a bit worried about pests (aphids), the radiator right below the window, the lack of direct sunlight, when to repot, artificial lighting (bedroom lighting which I usually keep on until 10pm-11pm) What tips would everyone recommend me in order to let these live? http://imgur.com/a/nTv2E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 Put them on the south facing windowsill, keep in a saucer of rain water and leave them to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenofeden Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 North facing window, you are very limited in choice, Mexican Pinguicula may survive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
