When planting your Hooded Pitcherplant, make sure to mix the soil with some compost or manure to give it an extra boost of nutrients. Additionally, you should water your plant often to ensure that the soil remains moist. With the right care and attention, your Rainhat Trumpet will bloom beautifully in your home.
