I got these seedlings going under growlights with a heating mat. How would you folks recommend moving them outdoors? They’re rather delicate looking so I don’t want them to get sunburned.

First, I would repot them into larger pots. Something that small will dry out very quickly outdoors. Then, put them outside with indirect light for 2 weeks. Then move to where they get a couple of hours more of light every couple of days. Once they are in full sun, move them to their final location. Be sure to keep them wet!

I grow my seedlings outdoors in my temperate greenhouse and they are doing fine.
All Sarracenia regardless of age should get 6 or more hours of full Sunlight.

Thanks for the tips. I will definitely repot them.

Great pic. I have my other varieties outdoors already, and their coloration is primo. Thanks for the advice.

I agree that 2 hours of sunshine per day isn't enough for Sarracenia seedlings. The OP needs to ease them from indoor grow lights to outdoor direct sun. Even moving from inside a greenhouse (under the milky, translucent plastic) to direct, unfiltered sun can be a shock for the plants.
