Sarracenia flava var. rugelii - American Pitcher Plant

Sarracenia flava var. rugelii, also referred to as the cutthroat pitcher plant, is recognizable by its unique blood red throat blotch. This area of the pitcher contains a high concentration of nectar glands, making it an attractive target for insects looking for food. This strategic location is strategically placed above the pitcher plant's mouth, functioning as a clever enticement.

• Skill Level: Easy
• Light: Min 3 hours, Max all day
• Water: Fill tray, keep in water at all times
• Pot Size 15cm (2L) which seems really big but it helps give them all the space they need long term
• Bare Root option - leaves will be trimmed and roots wrapped in sphagnum. Much cheaper shipping.

Please note Sarracenia are very large and leaves will have to be bent or cut down to fit in a box. Larger orders are larger boxes. If you need your plant to arrive at full height please message me after ordering to discuss larger box costs. Leaves grow quickly so you don't need to worry about losing some.
