So as some of you know, I have been having a real hard time getting my CPs to work. I have broken down the mini bog and made an even mini-er bog. My first batch of VFTs died but I don't think they were healthy to start with and my second batch started to turn black so I thought they were getting too much sun (10+ hours a day). Since I couldn't move the bog (large pot) anywhere I just tried to combat it by flooding the bog every morning but it wasn't stopping the burning. So I went out and got a small pot and moved the VFTs and my Sarracenia 'Judith Hindle' into it and put them into a more shaded spot (6-8 hours a day) and that has stopped them from turning black but now I'm left with four sad little VFTs and a pitcher plant that isn't looking so hot either... The Sar. had about 6 pitcher up when I purchased it but since they shipped it in a small box they had to remove them but since I recived it, the plant has been growing very slowly. It has three small pitchers (1-2 inches tall) and they don't seem to be growing. I assumed that with the S. flava and S. leucophylla in it's background that it would have growth cycles and have a fluch of pitchers early and late in the season but keeping in mind that S. purpurea was also one of the parents, wouldn't it just produce pitchers at a steady rate all season? Does anyone have any tips on lighting (outdoors) for best growth? I wish I could just add ferts and wait for them to take hold but that is not an option... So is there anything I can do to make them recover faster?
Thank you,
