Indoor Trio and Outdoor Bog for Upstate NY

Mark in Upstate NY (hot summers, frigid winters, heavy snow, mosquitoes) wants three compatible indoor plants (sundew, pitcher, third for color/impact) under artificial light, plus an outdoor bog plant that can move inside for winter.

Indoor Trio (Separate Pots/Soil)

• Nepenthes sanguinea (Asian pitcher)
• Drosera adelae (lance-leaf sundew)
• Pinguicula moranensis (Mexican butterwort)

Each needs different media—separate pots or compartments. Care sheets at cobraplant.com/caresheets (tropical section).

Outdoor Bog for Zone 5/6

Longtime NY customer succeeds with cold-hardy natives. Pot-grown plants need winter shelter (garage/cold frame)—not a warm house (dormancy deprivation kills). Top picks:

• Sarracenia purpurea ssp. purpurea (Northern Purple Pitcher)
• S. oreophila (Green Pitcher)
• S. rubra ssp. jonesii (Mountain Sweet Pitcher)
• Drosera filiformis filiformis (Northern Dewthread)

S. purpurea may be native to NY bogs. E-book details winterizing. Most North Americans work with proper protection.

Good Growing!
