Agree with Daisy They need the water in the saucer, so easy to dry them out. I always keep my Sarracenias sitting in distilled water even in winter. As it is, with summer's dry heat conditions and with the winds, dry out time is faster. My garden has limitations with direct sun, gets more shaded in the afternoon. I think it is a blessing in disguise, otherwise the Sarracenias will be toast with the dry heat. So far my Sarracenia purpurea is doing quite okay with that. Sarracenia psittacina is pouting big time with our dry heat, thankful it still struggles to live. My other Sarracenia,which maybe a Judith Hindle is coping, but is bending due to the winds, but it is making new pitchers so it is still okay.

Here is my Sarracenia purpurea, saucer or water container does not need to be too big, just enough it sits in water, rain water better to use if you have it, I have to use distilled, no rain here:
I have put the Sarracenia container with my other plants in this bigger clay container, lots of flying chow for it
