Protecting Tall Sarracenia Pitchers from Wind Damage

Question: Wind snaps pitchers of S. alata, S. leucophylla, S. flava. Full sun outdoors. How to protect without blocking sun? Staking tricky.

Answer: Options: 1) Relocate to a sunny but wind-sheltered spot. 2) Build a low windbreak with shade cloth or window screen. 3) Stake with two bamboo stakes per pot, loop string/twist ties around pitchers for support. Orchid stake clips work but are hard to find.

Good Growing!
