Sarracenia purpurea - Set of 3 - Carnivorous plant

Sarracenia purpurea, commonly known as the Purple Pitcher Plant, is a fascinating carnivorous plant native to North America. It is primarily found in acidic bogs, wetlands, and peatlands throughout the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. With its unique appearance and intriguing adaptations, Sarracenia purpurea has fascinated botanists and plant enthusiasts alike. The striking cup-shaped leaves make Sarracenia stand out among other carnivorous plants and are a feast for the eyes, with shades of deep purple and vibrant red veins. These modified leaves act as traps for unsuspecting insects, luring them in with nectar and downward-facing hairs that prevent escape.

Care
The Sarracenia purpurea requires a constantly moist environment, which mimics its natural habitat. It is strongly recommended to water the plant with distilled water or rainwater, as tap water often contains minerals that can damage the sensitive root system. It thrives in full sun, so it is essential to place it in a sunny location. However, care should be taken to avoid extreme heat, as this can damage the plant. During the growing season, it is essential to keep the pitchers filled with water. Finally, to maintain the vitality of the plant, occasional feeding with live insects, such as small flies or ants, can supplement its nutritional needs.

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