Sarracenia 'Don's Flava' Pitcher Damage: Animal Predation and Stabilization

A Michigan grower's S. 'Don's Flava' (from nursery) had first pitcher chewed by animal, second pitcher hood browning. Grower moved plant to garage nightly. Expert: stop moving plant – garage introduces temperature shifts, exhaust fumes. Animal damage caused initial issue; browning likely from instability. Use distilled water, keep in sunny outdoor spot, elevate on table to deter animals. Time and stability will resolve.
