  • Dying pitcher plant

    Well the title says it all really.

    Its a saracenia type fly eating pitcher plant, a few years old, about 6" high 12" wide in a rather small 4" pot, always kept in a saucer of rain water, indoors on a not too hot/not too cold window sill in the kitchen. Sure everynow and again I'm a bit late on the water and it has a bit of a wilt but it's always perked up again.

    But now the whole thing is wilting, shriveling, and going brown. Do these plants sometimes die down in winter and bounce back in the spring - or has it had it??

    Thanks

      The name would indeed suggest so...!

        I don't grow them, but my brother does, and he's convinced that they do better outdoors than in. Can it go outside somewhere for a while? I understand that it is possible to drown them, so check for the soil being saturated - let it dry a bit before the next lot of rain water.

          When was the last time you repotted them? They may be pot bound. I repot and split mine each year.
