Sarracenia Oreophila Pitcher Flattened by Rain: Normal, Use Support

No Lasting Damage

Heavy rain knocked S. oreophila pitcher flat. Several species naturally fall sideways with age/weather. Plant is fine. Use wire cage/dowels to support in wind/rain. Slow grower—one pitcher at a time is normal. With age, forms clumps with many pitchers.
