Rhizome Division


Question
Hello,
When you divide the rhizome of a sarracenia, do the pitchers come out smaller or will the pitchers be as large as it was before?

Thank You
Jamie

Answer
Hi Jamie,

Usually the leaves are a bit smaller until the second year, then they are usually back to full size.  Having said that, it depends greatly on the species, and how big the rhizome section was that was broken off.

Good Growing!
