You wont! I definitely can't... I'll bet that Panman won't be able to last a month without new seeds. I have a Marston dragon to bet.... :lol:

See what I did just to get seeds as early as I possibly could?

Actually not. Juvenile Sarracenia benefit from a little fertilizer. Take a look at this article:

Yeah they do! You should see Matt’s 1 year old sarracenia, it’s ridiculous compared to 2 year old sarrs that haven’t ever been fertilized!
Did he use osmocote or maxsea?
