How Do You Repot A Pitcher Plant?
The pitcher plant is one of the most interesting and colorful of the carnivorous plants. As a result, it has become a popular indoor plant. But over time, the pitcher plant’s potting medium, which is made primarily of sphagnum moss, will shrink and compress. Fresh potting medium will improve air circulation to the roots, resulting in a hardier, healthier plant. Repot your pitcher plant every two years to keep it looking its robust best. Hold the pitcher plant in a clean planting container, and fill the container with freshly mixed potting medium. To make the potting medium, combine two parts damp peat moss and two parts clean sphagnum moss with one part washed charcoal and one part clean, coarse sand. Be sure the planting container has a drainage hole in the bottom. Jiggle the pot gently to settle the potting medium around the pitcher plant. Don’t tamp the potting medium with your fingers, because doing so will compress the medium around the plant’s root system. Water the pitcher plant
