Growing & Maintenance Tips for Sarracenia flava 'Copper Top'
Grow with consistent sub-irrigation and avoid overhead watering. When planting in the garden, use a container submerged in the soil with drainage holes drilled 1–2" above the bottom. Fill with peat moss to maintain acidity and moisture, then mulch with pine needles to conceal the container. Keep constantly moist and use a peat-based mix or bog-like soil; regular potting soil and fertilizer can harm the plant.
