Protecting Sarracenia from Dogs: Practical Solutions

Question

How do I keep my dog from uprooting and eating entire pitcher plants—rhizome, roots, and all?

Answer

Place plants where the dog cannot reach them. Dogs are likely attracted to the smell of decomposing insects. Jeff Dallas solved this by growing outdoor plants in rigid children's swimming pools wrapped with rabbit fencing, which also deters deer and children.

Good Growing!
