Sarracenia rubra ssp. gulfensis Sunburn: Acclimation Is Essential

Common Mistake

Greenhouse/shade-grown plants suddenly exposed to full sun burn. Sarracenia need gradual acclimation.

Burn is permanent. Wait for new growth—it will be sun-adapted. Cut old pitchers when new ones open.

Volume 1 DVD has acclimation section.

Good growing!
