white trumpet pitcher plant

Water the White Trumpet Pitcher Plant, Sarracenia leucophylla, on a regular basis with enough to keep the soil slightly damp. Usually about once a week should suffice. You want the soil to be slightly damp, not saturated, so if you're not sure, check the soil and water if it feels dry. If you’re using a container, make sure it has adequate drainage. Water in the morning or early afternoon, so that there's plenty of time for the excess to dry out before night. Do not water the pitchers themselves, as this can lead to rotting. In the winter months, the plant may need less water, as growth slows down and the plant uses less.

The white trumpet pitcher plant, also known as Sarracenia leucophylla, thrives in full sun, but can also tolerate partial shade. The white trumpet pitcher plant should receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day, preferably during the early morning and late afternoon hours. Avoid direct midday sun as this may scorch the delicate leaves of the plant. It is best to keep the plant in an area with bright, indirect light for the rest of the day.

Pruning of white trumpet pitcher plants should be done at the end of its growing season, in late summer or early fall. Pruning should be done very carefully and only when necessary. When pruning, only remove dead leaves and blooms that are discolored, brown, or have wilted. Pruning should be limited to 1-third of the plant's foliage. Pruning too much can stress the plant and cause it to weaken.
