Know before you buy
This specimen is a cross between genetics from Norfolk County, Massachusetts, and Bruce County, Ontario. This combination is specifically bred for exceptional cold hardiness, making it a robust choice for growers in northern climates.
While it can be kept indoors, it requires a very bright, sunny location, such as a south-facing windowsill, to thrive. Because it is a temperate carnivorous plant, it generally performs best outdoors where it can experience natural seasonal light cycles.
Sarracenia purpurea requires high moisture levels at all times. It is best to keep the pot sitting in a shallow tray of distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water to ensure the soil remains consistently moist.
Yes, this plant is non-toxic and pet-safe. However, because it is a carnivorous plant, you should ensure your pets do not disturb the pitchers or the soil.
Carnivorous plants are highly sensitive to minerals and nutrients found in standard potting soil and fertilizers, which can kill them. This plant is already potted in appropriate carnivorous-friendly media, and you should never add fertilizer to the soil.
Yes, Little Carnivores ships the specific plant pictured in the listing. You will receive the exact specimen shown, which arrives already potted and ready for your space.
