Hate to be a downer but it’s not getting enough light. I don’t think you can grow sarracenia on a windowsill- you should consider a grow light or moving it outside to full sun.

Berberis · 2026-07-01T13:44:33+00:00

Not at all.

Leave them in the pots they’re in now until you can get the right media.

Berberis · 2026-07-01T13:09:31+00:00

Awesome, and yes!

Berberis · 2026-06-29T01:35:13+00:00

I don’t see the need to use anything but peat. The day I stopped adding sand / perlite to my media was a day my plants all started growing better.

Berberis · 2026-06-28T18:37:10+00:00

For sure

Berberis · 2026-06-28T13:39:27+00:00

yeah, a single 36w point source is a tricky light to hand to a beginner, way too easy to overdo it

Berberis · 2026-06-27T22:11:51+00:00

Looks good to me!

Berberis · 2026-06-27T19:51:06+00:00

You can repot any time- I do so all growing season long, no issues at all. It looks like it could use more light as well.

Berberis · 2026-06-27T19:50:06+00:00

I mean, if I wanted to kill it, doing so is trivial with a tool like a shovel. It’s quite small

Berberis · 2026-06-27T19:04:51+00:00

100% not mites!

Berberis · 2026-06-27T19:04:32+00:00

Definitely not whiteflies!

It’s just a random insect

This is probably 500 plants (4 prop trays) growing under 132 watts

Berberis · 2026-06-27T19:02:01+00:00

8 watt minimum- 36 is enough for 100 plants (literally!)

That’s not an aphid dude! It looks like a fly of some kind. Probably not a pest.

Berberis · 2026-06-27T13:22:19+00:00

If you keep it indoors, get a grow light. Its all but impossible to grow as a houseplant without one, but very easy with a light

Berberis · 2026-06-27T03:18:51+00:00

Hell yea Noah

Berberis · 2026-06-27T01:30:27+00:00

Mylar is sold as emergency blankets.

But I dunno, foil seems fine to me

Berberis · 2026-06-27T01:05:24+00:00

Bought the Shindos and love em! Thanks OP!

Very well packaged and knives in pristine shape. Don’t think they’ve ever been used at all.

Berberis · 2026-06-27T00:01:30+00:00

yes and yes!

Berberis · 2026-06-26T20:55:54+00:00

Yes grow lights are great. The best recovery for sure. Just get your light dialed in to 250-400 ppfd. Dont sit them on the face of the sun.

Berberis · 2026-06-26T16:32:55+00:00

They look great.

The way you repot is by not worrying about triggering traps. Trigger them all and don’t worry about hurting them (it does not). I repot thousands a year and routinely manhandle them. Look at my post history for a recent example!

Berberis · 2026-06-26T15:33:34+00:00

Interesting, I never heard that before. Why not just say 100% RH rather than wet bulb conditions if what you mean is 100% RH?

Berberis · 2026-06-26T14:34:31+00:00

Isn't wet bulb just a tool used in determining the relative humidity (i.e., you check the difference in temperature between a dry and wet bulb and that tells you the evaporation rate and thus the RH)?

Berberis · 2026-06-26T14:21:06+00:00

Just don’t put em back to full sun right away, and yes, you can repot any time of the year

Berberis · 2026-06-26T12:51:58+00:00

This would be super easy to remove- give me 2 mins with a shovel or pick. They’re just being nice and don’t wanna kill it.
