Sarracenia oreophila 2022

Sarracenia oreophila (SO) is a pitcher plant. It has the common name is the Green Pitcher Plant. It is federal listed as endangered by the United States. It is naturally found in Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina. Different from other pitcher plants, it often has non-pitcher leaves near the base. That is a dead give away for the species once you get the search image. You can legally buy these plants from the only seller legally able to sell these plants, growing plants of this species, across state lines within the United States. That is Meadowview Biological Research Station. The people that run that place are very nice. I give them a thumb up. There are maybe 2 legal seed dealers that can sell these across state lines. Within state, there may be additional sellers, but they cannot sell to people that live out of state. To go into a state, within the other state, buy the plant, then leave the state, to return to your state is illegal/against the law. As you can buy these, no need to go poach them illegally from the wild.

I've obtained 4 Sarracenia oreophila from this seller. My first died. But my next three are still doing good. I had them for years. A few times I had root rot with them, too much water, grown indoors under grow lights. But recent years, outside, they have done well. I decided to divide my Sarracenia oreophila in 2022.

I divided my 3 SO plants into now 21 total. These are represented by 3 'mother' plants, and their 18 divisions. Mother 1 had 5 additional divisions for 6 total. Mother 2 had 6 additional divisions for 7 total. Mother 3 had 7 additional divisions for 8 total. Total again, now 21.

SO - 3 Mother Plants

SO - 3 Mother Plants Outside of Tray

SO: Mother#1 + 5 Additional Divisions = 6

SO: Mother#2 + 6 Additional Divisions = 7

SO: Mother#3 + 7 Additional Divisions = 8

SO: All Mother Plants (3 Bigger Pots) and All Divisions (18 Smaller Pots in Tray)

What will become of these plants in future years?

Thanks for viewing, have a nice day!
