Productinformation
Sarracenia purpurea, commonly known as the Purple Pitcher Plant, is a fascinating carnivorous plant native to North America. It is found primarily in acidic bogs, wetlands, and peatlands across the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. With its unique appearance and intriguing adaptations, Sarracenia purpurea has captivated botanists and plant enthusiasts alike.
Care
The Sarracenia purpurea requires a consistently moist environment, mimicking its natural habitat. It is very much advised to water the plant with distilled water or rainwater, as tap water often contains minerals that can harm its sensitive root system. It thrives in full sun, so placing it in a sunny location is crucial. However, care must be taken to avoid extreme heat, as it can damage the plant. During the growing season, it is essential to keep the pitchers filled with water. Lastly, to maintain the plant's vitality, occasional feeding with live insects, such as small flies or ants, can supplement its nutrient requirements.

The plants have a height of 10 to 15cm on delivery (measured incl. the pot). The plants are delivered in pots with a diameter of 5.5 cm.
