Hooded Executioner Plant
Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help. One of my children received a kit to grow some Hooded Executioner Plants (Sarracenia minor). The instructions are brief and I suspect inadequate for a satisfactory outcome. I've Googled it and found out that it grows in north Florida/South Georgia, so I have some idea of the climate and conditions required, I suspect my conservatory would be a pretty good place (unheated in all but the coldest winter weather and south facing). However, I cannot find any descriptions of cultivation. Does anyone have any experience/ideas. TIA Steve. |

Yes they were selling these in my local Pound shop at 75p. along with other exotics in 1 inch plant pots. I would suggest putting it in a larger pot once it gets going I got this info from this site http://www.littleshopofhorrors.co.uk...roductid=17195 Grown from seed collected from plants growing alongside the drainage ditches feeding the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia. The parent plants reach over 90cmhigh with robust pitchers. Superb colouration with copper/red tops andwhite windows at the back and extending down the tube. Extremely vigorous. Sunny position. Stand in 2-5cm rainwater. Allow to die down in winter and cut off brown parts of trap. Keep damp but don't stand in too much water. Keep sheltered, but no heat needed over winter. Compost: 6:2:1peaterlite:sand |

Check out www.sarracenia.com for an extensive FAQ on carnivorous
plants. I got one of these last year but the seeds didn't germinate. Hopefully they will for you....as they're beautiful plants. |
