Okay, there's another Sarracenia that needs to be repotted. It has actually been long overdue. @riverflows called these plants Alien - I thank RF for the title. We have all we need, which is whole moss

This post will be about harvesting a right side up and an upside down tumeric or ginger plant which has been going for the entire summer. Trurmeric I would normally let this go until I'm in need of ginger
