Transitioning Sarracenia from Terrarium to Outdoors in Texas: Timing and Acclimation

A Texas grower has S. purpurea and S. flava in a 10-gallon aquarium with lid (4 hrs direct sun, high humidity). The expert advises waiting until fall (daytime 70s°F) to move them outdoors. Moving now in summer heat/sun would cause severe burn. In fall, place in sunny spot with water trays; some burn will occur but plants go dormant, and spring growth will be vigorous with better color. Houston's humidity is sufficient; native S. alata grows nearby. Transplant to larger pots next spring.
