watering
For the Yellow Trumpet Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora), it is best to water them after they have dried out (up to 2 weeks). In order to water them properly, they should be placed in a tray of water, so they’re completely submerged. If not placed in a water tray, it's best to water the roots and soil around the plant directly. To make sure it is receiving the right amount of water, use a moisture meter. Additionally, be careful not to over-water the plants as this could lead to root rot.
sunlight
The yellow trumpet pitcher plant (Sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora) is best suited for full sun to partial shade. In partial shade, it should receive at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day. In full sun, this plant species should receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. It is important to note, however, that in areas with higher levels of UV exposure, it is recommended to provide some shade during the hottest parts of the day (from 11am to 4pm). It is important to remember that the amount of sunlight any plant receives should be adjusted according to the climate and area in which it is being grown, along with changes in weather. This will ensure that the yellow trumpet pitcher plant receives the optimal amount of sunlight it needs to thrive.
pruning
To ensure the health of a yellow trumpet pitcher plant (Sarracenia flava var. rubricorpora), pruning should be done on a regular basis. Pruning should occur in early spring prior to the commencement of active growth and can be done again in late spring or early summer to promote growth and vigor. During pruning, any dead or weak stems should be removed as well as any damaged pitchers. Additionally, stems can be cut back to the desired height you wish for the plant. This will help maintain a symmetrical look and healthy growth.
