Growing Sarracenia Pitcher Plants

Sarracenia Pitcher Plants have tall, vase-like tubes with hoods that are perfect for trapping insects. 

• Average mature height: 2-3 feet
• Growing location: Most Sarracenia plants do best outdoors so they can grow in high light and have insects available.
• Light: Full sun. Species that are shorter in height can handle slightly less light than taller species.
• Soil: Use only soil that has no fertilizer added. Peat moss with some perlite or long-fiber sphagnum moss are the most common choices. Try our sphagnum moss.
• Water: Purified water is best. Carnivorous plants love water. Keep them in trays of water so they never dry out.
