Confirm species, pot size and watering method before unpotting.
- Retain the planting level
Position the root-ball surface at its previous level. Do not bury the root collar or crown deeply; leave watering space in containers.
- Support establishment
Prefer rainwater and match moisture, light and winter dormancy to species and cultivar. Do not treat Sarracenia like tropical pitcher plants; monitor root moisture during cool dormancy too.
Match moisture and winter dormancy to the specific species.
