Repotting Nepenthes and Sarracenia: Timing and Container Choices

Nepenthes Repotting

Repot anytime—when soil is diseased, plant is pot-bound, or you want a new container. Roots are small; no strict rules. Hanging baskets with coconut liners work well, providing aeration but increasing evaporation (water more often). Use a saucer indoors to catch drips.

Sarracenia Repotting

Best in early spring to minimize root disturbance. Fall repotting is okay if a larger pot (5+ inches) improves winter insulation. Keep root ball intact; avoid breaking the rhizome.
