To ensure healthy growth, it is recommended to fertilize Sarracenia twice a month during its active growing season, which usually falls in spring and summer. Use a specialized fertilizer formulated for carnivorous plants and follow the instructions on the product for application. Remember that over-fertilization can damage the plant's sensitive roots.
