Not sure I like the look, but the winds were giving my Sarracenia some issues this last week. The burgundy x minor giant didn’t really need it, but the pitchers were leaning. This leuco was really bent over , weakened, and needed support:
Do you support yours? If so, how bout some photos to share your methods...

I've done it as well in the past. Some Sarracenia are very prone to falling over, particularly when their pitchers fill with water or insects. I've used whatever I have on hand in terms of scraps to make supports. Any sort of sticks plus twine is typically what I end up using.

I am growing sarrs in a summer greenhouse where they're protected from wind and rain now but grew them outdoors years before. When I grew outdoors I didn't support the pitchers. In my experience, if they were formed correctly and blew down/fell over they would eventually stand up again. If they weren't formed correctly and blew down I just chopped them.

Most of my pitcher plants do just fine without any support in gale force wind, and minor leaning usually corrects itself within a day or so. Occasionally, some wind damage occurs and a bent pitcher might need a crutch in order to stay upright if it gusts again. In that case, I will consider supporting it with some wire, especially if the plant doesn’t have many pitchers. But in most cases, if a plant can spare it, I cull weak, damaged pitchers.
