Plant Care Guide
Light: Sarracenia ‘Fiona’ thrives in bright, direct sunlight. Ensure it gets at least 6 hours of sunlight daily to encourage healthy growth and vibrant colours.
Fertilising: Sarracenia ‘Fiona’ does not require fertilising, as it derives nutrients from captured insects. If indoors, occasional feeding with a diluted, insect-based fertiliser is recommended.
Common Pests: Watch for aphids, mealybugs, and fungal infections. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if needed.
General Care: This plant thrives in humid conditions, so misting or a humidity tray can help. Remove dead pitchers regularly to maintain health and appearance.
Lighting: Bright Filtered Light
Aphids: Aphids are tiny, pear-shaped insects that range in color from green to yellow to black. They feed on the sap of plants using their sharp, piercing mouthparts and can cause stunted growth, curling leaves, and other damage. They reproduce quickly and can form large colonies, making them a common pest in gardens and greenhouses..
