Repotting Sarracenia purpurea: Timing and Pot Selection

Timing

Repot in spring as dormancy breaks (temps >50–60°F, days lengthening). Now is preparation for dormancy.

Pot Choice

• Clay or plastic both work.
• Choose slightly larger than current pot (e.g., 3" → 4" → 5" annually).
• Saucer must hold ¼–½ pot depth in water (1–2" for 4–5" pots).

Growing Season Water

Sarracenia love constantly wet roots in season; moist soil in dormancy.
