I just got a Sarracenia Pupurea from Lowe's. I was wondering if I could keep it in my room under artificial light. When should I feed it, when should I repot, etc.

Any other tips?

Should I do anything about this?

That's dried lfs. A good medium for most cp's. That's actually a nice plant for lowes, nice find!

Unless you have very strong artificial lights, outside is going to be where the plant is happiest.

I think you potted the plant too deep. The leaves, right down to the base, should be exposed to the air. And I will second putting the plant outside.

I agree, outside she goes UNLESS you live where I do! lowes put out many carns only problem is its winter...

So i got mine under grow lights. Fools, anything for money, people people

I cut the one in the middle back, it was my scarlet belle this dish is exclusively my lowes finds, hopefully the vfts look neat as well as not just scarlet belles. Come on baby, gimme the sarracenia lottery

It is definitely planted too deep, you may want to remove the upper layers of moss and put them under the plant.
