It will just put nutrients in the soil. And if you have them outside when they are sprouted you don't need it since they catch a lot of insects.

You should see Matt’s 1 year old sarracenia, it’s ridiculous compared to 2 year old sarrs that haven’t ever been fertilized!Dragonslayer126 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 01, 2022 10:44 pm Very bad idea.

Apparently someone managed to get flowers on a 2 year old plant with fertilization.I've heard that too. I got some seedlings last year that have some great potential, and I'm going to Maxsea the crap out of one of each cross this year and see how it turns out. Last year, their first, I had 14 inch pitchers on one.

I am thinking of either injecting Maxsea below the moss surface, to avoid algae, or using it in the water tray. I mostly tray water the plants, so I don't know that having pellets on the surface will help any.

Only halfway though, I didn't want them to potentially fall over due to too much liquid in them.ChefDean wrote:I'm going to Maxsea the crap out of one of each cross this year and see how it turns out.Are you filling pitchers or root fertilizing?
