Sarracenia is an insectivorous herbaceous plant. It was originally distributed in acidic marshes, so it prefers humid climates. Daily watering should also be appropriate to keep the soil moist, which is very helpful for the development of the plant.Usually in the growth season, water should be poured once a day, and spray properly to improve the humidity of the environment.If it is in summer, irrigate twice a day, but do not irrigate at noon, so as not to cause the ground temperature to decrease.When it comes to dormancy, you can control watering, not too much.

2. Water control and fertilizer stop: Sarracenia likes to be wet, but because of the low temperature in winter, the growth of the plant is slow, and the demand for water is correspondingly reduced, so the amount of water should be reduced.But also stop fertilize, so as not to cause harm to that plant due to the accumulation of fertilizer, which is not beneficial to the growth of the plant, and may even cause the root to rot.

3. Appropriate light: Sarracenia is suitable for growing in semi-shade environment, but because the temperature in winter is too low, and the light is not strong, long-term light will help it survive the winter.Usually, the plant should be placed in a sunny place so that it can fully receive light, especially at noon, which is very helpful to raise the ambient temperature.
