Dividing Sarracenia with Flower Buds: Remove Blooms for Better Recovery

Holly asks if dividing pitcher plants with visible flower buds will still allow flowering after repotting. Jeff Dallas strongly recommends removing flower buds during division: "Blooming takes lots of energy away from the plant, and they produce few pitchers if you let them bloom after division."

For new growers, Dallas recommends Volume #1 DVD covering rhizome division techniques, common mistakes, and proper division sizing. This hands-on guidance helps avoid setbacks during this critical process.

Good Growing!
