Hi, here are some pictures of my sarracenia plants this year. I got a new greenhouse but not sure about the poly panels with double wall. I think it's cutting the light too much and the plant don't color up as much as with clear panels. Seems that those in the clear greenhouse are coloring up better. Well maybe it's because the greenhouse is getting some shade from the neighbor trees, not sure. I wish I could move to a better house with a large land so I could put my greenhouse in full sunlight, but I have to do with this for now!
Those in the greenhouse with the clear panels color up very nicely :
Those are in direct sunlight :
Not sure about those double wall polycarbonate panels. They seem to cut off lots of light and the plants take a much longer time to color up... Anyone used these panels before and can share their thoughts ? Maybe it's because these are not yet fall pitchers, not sure. This plant can color up so much more. It did not even develop the pink on the lips yet.
This is with the new greenhouse, the side panels are clear, but the roof is cutting a lot of light. You can see the polycarbonate roof behind on the second picture :
And this was last year with the clear panels in my other greenhouse. Problem is, this plant is huge, it's like 40 inches or more, so it does not fit in my clear greenhouse lol!
brand new pitcher :
And as the pitcher mature, like a week or 2 after it opens :
I kind of regret buying this new greenhouse, and wish I would have bought the one with all clear panels. I got the Palram Hybrid, but wish I would have bought the one with the clear roof.
