Repotting Sarracenia alata into Long-Fiber Sphagnum Moss

I just bought a Sarracenia Alata. Can I remove it from its pot and just put it in long fiber sphagnum moss? I have it in full sunlight and standing in water outside. I live in Missouri. Can't get a picture sent, sorry. Thank you for your time.

Hi Leslie,

Long-fiber sphagnum is fine as a potting medium for Sarracenia. For more information visit our care sheet page here: https://www.growcarnivorousplants.com/Articles.asp?ID=258 Also consider our Volume #1 DVD: https://www.growcarnivorousplants.com/Grow-Carnivorous-Plants-DVD-1-p/01111.htm It's a hands-on guide to help new growers avoid the pitfalls so common to new carnivorous plant growers. The price of the DVD will be paid for many times over in not losing plants.

Good Growing!
