Sarr's for pick up (Hold for now)

[Lloyd Gordon]

It took a year of pulling plantain out.

The 14 day forecast for Toronto calls for nightly lows of 0°C on April 17 and 2°C on the 18'th. So the microbogs have to wait until at least the 19'th. to go up to the deck.

pretty good looking

 

[ANTSPlantation]

Is that first pot all one plant?

doesn't look like it

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

-7°C now! Everything back in the garage overnight. Cool April.

A huge thanks to @Lloyd Gordon for the generous giveaway!
These Sarracenia have been in transportation for 18 days but still looking fine, I'd never go with regular parcel again!

 

[ANTSPlantation]

good condition!

 

[Lloyd Gordon]

Interesting, the white shoots weren't there when I shipped.

Interesting, the white shoots weren't there when I shipped.

They are the new shoots trying to find light.

A Canada Post experiment: keep 10 Sarr's in complete darkness for 19 days and see what happens!

 

[WillyCKH]

Sarracenia do pretty well in transportation for long time.
The longest time I've seen them in the mail was a delayed import about 2 years ago, it took about 40 days! Those poor Sarrs still made it okay but a lot of white new growth were made to search for the light.

Should we do sarracenia progress posts?

 

[Carson Hardy]

I would play along!

 

[plantant]

Ok I'll start!

 

[Raymond]

Should we do sarracenia progress posts?

Hey, its also something to do when you're bored as well. Gives you a excuse to post picture and im sure no one will say no to looking at some sarr progress pictures

I’m excited to see the progress in everyone’s plants.

 

[plantant]

Huh, my plants do not have pitchers.

 

[Carson Hardy]

Different species emerge at different times, it's just a matter of waiting . And it looks like Josh is using a greenhouse! His plants there seem further along than anything I have in the yard, and I'm on the west coast

 

[Josh]

Yeah everything gets a heads start inside. I'll take a shot of my favorite plant soon, saving it for the pic of the month.
