And I don't think his plants are expensive for what you get
What do you think went wrong? Asking because I recently purchased one (of possible relevance to this thread: cascade carnivores has them)
I let it get too much light and thus heat, and the sun baked it. It started by just burning the top edges and then whole pitchers. The only thing I did different from last year is I left it in the direct sun for a few afternoon hours, but it's the hottest part of the day. And it's hotter in direct sunlight than in the shade. It's ok. It was a experiment to see if I can keep a DC alive in NC, and I found out I can. I grew it for a year and a half and now I believe I can make a investment and buy one from Mike Wang. You can't go wrong with this guy and he has location specifics for most everything he sells. I have never bought from him but I have not had the confidence to grow DCs or Sarracenia until now. I have seen what others have purchased from him and it is always a value.
