sarracenia rosea

Sarracenia rosea (un-named pot-buster clone) Liberty Co, FL

Liberty Co, FL

First described
2014
Type
single clone from population unnamed

A Mike-cultivation rosea from Liberty Co — un-named — that demonstrates the size-potential-from-pot-space lesson. Pot-busting in 3.5" but not a 'giant' for the species; resembles 'Fat Chance' visually but identity not confirmed.

Standout traits

  • Pot-busting in a 3.5" square pot — would easily fill a 6" pot
  • Mike's main point (post #1, 2014): community-pot/community-tray space limitation forces plants to stay small; individual potting reveals true size potential
  • Resembles 'Fat Chance' (jdallas, post #3, 2014) — AG3 tissue-cultured cultivar. Visual similarity, no confirmed identity
  • Spleen-like lip color (wireman, post #5, 2014) — distinctive coloration

Cultivation

  • Outdoor Northern California.
  • Pot size matters: Mike's broader cultivation point (post #1) is that single individuals in their own pots reveal size potential that community-tray growing suppresses. This is a common Mike-cultivation pattern (cf. Phil Faulisi's vegetative-vs-sexual maturity framework in CalCarn okee + Alucard POD entries — don't divide / don't let root-bound).

Naming

Mike's framing — an "un-named S. rosea clone from Liberty Co, FL." Not giant for the species, just impressively-sized when given pot space (Mike, post #1, 2014: "easily fill a 6\" pot, and it's not uncommon for S. rosea to get this big — this isn't a giant clone").
