Fertilize Sarracenia leucophylla : We should avoid fertilizing carnivorous plants, as they dislike mineral salts in the soil.

Light Sarracenia leucophylla

continental : The Sarracenia leucophylla needs direct sunlight, even for many hours a day.
During the autumnal months we can leave the the Sarracenia leucophylla outdoors, only until the minimum temperatures are above 15°C; when the climate is cooler let’s move the the Sarracenia leucophylla in an apartment or greenhouse.

alpine : These plants prefer very sunny locations, where they are exposed to sunrays for most of the day.
These plants can’t tolerate minimum temperatures below 15°C, therefore in autumn they are grown in the apartment.

mediterranean : This plant needs to be exposed to direct solar rays.
The Sarracenia leucophylla are grown in a sheltered place or in the apartment; if the climate is mild, with minimum temperatures above 15°C, they can be moved outdoors.

Water Sarracenia leucophylla

continental : Water every 1-2 weeks with 2-3 glasses of water, when the substratum appears to have been dry for days; it is suggested to avoid surpluses, keeping the plants away from being too exposed to precipitations during this period of the year.

alpine : Avoid watering too often, generally irrigations can be sporadic, every 2-3 weeks using 1-2 glasses of water.

mediterranean : These plants prefer a pretty dry soil, therefore we should water sparingly with 3-4 glasses of water, and leaving the soil dry for 0-1 weeks before wetting again.

Pests Sarracenia leucophylla : Carnivorous plants defend themselves from the most common parasites, which in general don’t attack them; when repotting it might be necessary to treat the soil with a fungicide or against radical putrefaction.
