After removing about 30 pounds of sarracenia, and pine needle mulching in the winter, some of my bog garden caught fire when I was burning down some grass in Janurary. I liked how the fire cleared out the old pitchers so I burned the rest too, protecting only the orchids and dormant sundews. The fire ended up killing off most above ground growth, which I later cut down, making it like starting from new. Everything survived and I love the effect of not having the overwintered growths present cluttering the view, and the carnivores and orchids are all coming back stronger than ever. The only negative is that I think the fire also activated many more weed seeds than usual.
