Answer 2

This is the habitat that they like: Bogs, savannas, and flat woods. The very wettest parts of bogs are favored, often restricting the species to the edges of bogs. Forms dense, floating mats on the water at the edges of bog ponds and lakes and across acid streams. Adapted to poor soils deficient in trace elements such as molybdenum. These elements may be obtained from captured insects and amphibians. Soils usually highly acidic and unsuitable for many other plants. However, does not require acidic soils for growth, and occasionally occurs in alkaline marl bogs around the Great Lakes.

Propagation methods are as follows:

    *  By seed, following cold stratification.

    * Fastest establishment is from nursery stock. Set the plants in a bog so that their roots reach down to the moisture but the top of the roots rests at water level.

    * Can also be grown from seeds, sown as soon as they are ripe, in a mixture of equal parts of sand and peat moss. Seeds germinate in about a month, but plants grown from seed take three to five years to flower. Stand each pot in a dish of water and enclose both dish and pot in a plastic bag so that seeds do not dry out. When the seedlings are well established, set them outdoors in the bog.

    * Can also be propagated by division in the spring.

    * Collection of wild Pitcher Plants for sale has resulted in localized extinction in some areas. A number of dealers currently specialize in cultivating carnivorous plants, but collecting is still a problem, since it is less costly.

They like full sun and soil rich in peat or sphagnum moss, pH of 4.5-5.5 ♥
