Sarracenia Pitcher Plants are popular carnivourous plants due their colourful pitchers and wonderful flowers every spring. They are also are one of the easiest carnivorous plants to grow. The pitchers have unusual markings which attracts a wide range of insects down to the bottom of the tube where they drown in a liquid, providing the plant with valuable nutrients. They are very cold tolerant and will survive outside in a bog garden provided it is sited in a sheltered spot
As with most carnivorous plants Sarracenia Pitcher Plants need moist, acidic soil conditions. To grow in a pot simply stand the pot in a saucer of rainwater, never use tap water or any plant feed. They also like a bright place without being exposed to full sun in the summer, a north or east facing windowsill is fine all year round. Re-pot when necessary in a mixture of sphagnum moss and peat, or specially formulated compost for insect eating plants
