Question
How do you keep your dog from damaging your Sarracenia? Just recently my dog has developed an interest in uprooting and eating entire pitcher plants... rhizome, roots, and all. I can't get him to stop. Thanks.

Hi Brian,

This may seem like a no-brainer, but you need to find a location for your plant that your dog can't get too.  Your dog is probably attracted to the smell of decomposing insects.  I definitely had this problem many years ago.  What I did was start growing my outdoor plants in rigid children's swimming pools.  With those I was able to wrap rabbit fencing around the pool.  This kept both dogs, deer and little kids away from the plants.

Good Growing!
