Sarracenia Not Pitchering Well? Your Spot Is Too Shady—Hostas Prove It

The Tomato Test

“Could I grow tomatoes here?” If no, not enough sun for Sarracenia. Your photo shows hostas thriving—hostas are shade plants. That spot is too dim.

Evidence

• Pure green Daina's Delight (should be red).
• Weak, small pitchers.
• Flytrap and S. purpurea may look okay but check: are traps bright red inside?

Fix

Move to a hot, sunny, vegetable-garden spot. Expect dramatic improvement. Nursery photo shows full-sun growing conditions.
