It’s a trap!
Hello,
I have been searching for information on Sarracenia oreophila and have found some of the information I need.
However, I am minus the care instructions for when the plant is dormant.
1. How wet should the soil mixture be while dormant and can it dry out somewhat between waterings?
My understanding is that the plant goes dormant during the dry summer months and returns to active growth during the spring and early summer months.
2. Can I use the water tray method for this plant year round or only during the active growing season?
I have read that keeping it in standing water will rot the plant's roots.
3. What temperatures should the plant be kept at while dormant?
I understand that it can be kept as low as 10°F.
Thanks,
Nick
