Fixing Wrong Soil and Weak Light for Sarracenia purpurea in Northern Michigan

Lighting: Plant/Aquarium Tubes = Dim

1,900 lumens each vs. 6,000+ needed. Place ≤2" from tubes or upgrade to cool-white 40W shop lights.

Soil Error: Jiffy-Mix Contains Lime

Lime neutralizes acidity—fatal long-term. Repot immediately in 1:1 peat:perlite (no additives) or pure dried sphagnum. Rinse roots. Buy from us or find plain peat/perlite bales.

Watering

Hard tap water used once—flush thoroughly with distilled. Focus on health before winterizing.
