Trumpet pitcher plant - Sarracenia Scarlet Belle - Ø12cm - ↕40cm

Properties

• The Sarracenia, also known as the Trumpet Pitcher Plant, is a carnivorous plant with distinctive pitcher-shaped leaves that catch and digest insects.

• Native to the swamps of North America, this plant thrives in moist, sunny conditions.

• Thanks to its unique way of absorbing nutrients, the Sarracenia helps to reduce insect populations in the area.

• The plant is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe choice for households with cats and dogs.

• This plant is easy to care for and ideal for both beginners and experienced plant lovers.

Care

• The plant thrives in a spot with partial shade to full sun.

• Water regularly and ensure the soil always remains moist, preferably with rainwater or distilled water.

• Use an acidic, well-draining soil mix such as peat moss and sand to support healthy growth.

• Do not fertilize the plant, as it gets its nutrients from captured insects.

• In winter, the plant may enter a dormant period, during which the leaves partially die back. This is normal and helps the plant to grow more vigorously again in spring.
