watering
For green pitcherplants (Sarracenia oreophila), water 1-2 times per week. The pitcherplant enjoys a moist soil, so make sure the soil doesn't dry out completely. Water thoroughly and make sure excess water is draining out of the pot. In warmer months, make sure to water more often as the plant will dry out faster. Pitcher plants love moist environments, so you can spray a little mist as additional provision of water.
sunlight
The green pitcherplant requires full sunlight for optimal growth. In spring and summer months, it can tolerate up to 10 hours of direct sunlight daily. In the fall and winter months, it should receive at least 6 hours of direct light each day. Avoid placing the plant in direct afternoon sunlight, as this can lead to sunburn.
pruning
Green pitcherplant (Sarracenia oreophila) should be pruned in late summer or early fall when some parts have died. Pruning should be done sparingly and only when necessary. Only remove dead or diseased foliage when necessary.
