Rescuing an Etiolated Indoor Sarracenia 'Judith Hindle': Light, Repotting, and Acclimation

Diagnosis: Severe Light Deficiency

Green, floppy pitchers indicate insufficient light. A southwest window indoors provides far less intensity than outdoor full sun.

Recovery Plan

1. Repot into 50/50 peat/perlite in a larger pot (4-6 inch).
2. Move outdoors to full sun (after frost danger passes).
3. Cut off all floppy leaves; they'll burn but new growth will be sturdy and colorful.
4. If no outdoor space, supplement with fluorescent desk lamp (cool white, 4-6 inches above plant) plus window light.

Dormancy Note

S. 'Judith Hindle' tolerates minimal dormancy. Allow natural winter light cycle if kept indoors.
