Needs more light and slight air movement to build strength. I grew those for awhile and they get a ting of red when theyre kissed with though light. Since those are mostly green and leggy I presume they're light deprived and getting too tall seeking light.

They get sunlight from dawn to 17pm, but these last few weeks have been dark and depressing for everyone. I hope that the incoming weather helps them soon.

Beautiful plant! Hope the neck brace does its job!

Thanks! I hope so too!

I give my plants a good shake every once a while. Without wind they can get weak and tip over like that. Also in the summer I just leave em out on the balcony.

I usually have it outside, but we have been having some really cold days and I feared it would kill it. That huge pitcher sprouted when I left the plant inside lmao

Sometimes it can be better to just clip off a broken pitcher. It'll keep growing new ones assuming you give it the right growing conditions

It's sprouting pitchers like crazy, I might do that

That's an awesome Sarracenia! Hope she feels better soon.
