Sarracenia Seedling Dormancy and Nepenthes Basal Shoot Division

For Sarracenia seedlings (Zone 6, 90 mi north of NYC):

Seedling Winter Strategy

• Keep indoors under lights for faster growth.
• Can skip dormancy for 1–2 years.
• Acclimate to outdoors when mature.

Outdoor Mature Plants

• Retain winter leaves (phyllodia) on S. flava, S. oreophila for spring photosynthesis.
• Use new burlap for mulch—used sacks harbor fungal spores.

Nepenthes Basal Shoots

Separate only when roots have formed. If no roots, leave attached until they develop.
