So just a little question.. My sarracenias had been doing great last year and were doing OK over winter. But now i put them outside and old pitchers started to die from the top. I hopw that this is just because they are old. Or should l be worried? But otherways they are feeling good, growing new pitchers and are not looking sick in any way

Thanks

They do die back from the top so it could be normal but it is difficult to tell without a picture. If it has new healthy pitchers, it sounds normal.

If they are last seasons pitchers this is normal. Sarracenia pitchers only last a season, ocassionally a few pitchers might survive until spring but The norm is they die off and make room for new growth.
