Trimming Sarracenia Pitchers Before Fridge Dormancy

Herb asks if he can trim pitchers before refrigerator dormancy (fall/winter). Plants respond well but tall pitchers make fridge shelving hard. Follows DVD 1 protocol.

Yes—Trim Away, It's Beneficial

Dead pitchers grow mold—removing is good hygiene. Exception: S. purpurea, S. psittacina, and hybrids like 'Scarlet Belle' (small rhizomes, don't drop leaves in winter)—leave a few leaves.

Good Growing!
