Know before you buy
Yes. Every specimen is hand-selected and photographed individually, so the plant you see in the listing is the specific one that will be shipped to you.
Bare root means the plant is shipped without its pot or soil. We carefully rinse all growing media from the roots before packaging to ensure the plant remains healthy and clean during transit.
Carnivorous plants are sensitive to minerals found in tap water. You must use distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis (RO) water to keep the soil consistently moist and prevent root damage.
This Sarracenia thrives in full sun. Providing ample direct light is essential for the plant to develop its characteristic vibrant coloration and maintain vigorous growth.
Sarracenia require a nutrient-poor, acidic environment. A standard mix of peat moss and perlite is ideal, as it provides the necessary drainage and moisture retention without adding minerals that could harm the plant.
While it can be kept indoors, it requires a very bright, sunny windowsill or high-intensity grow lights to thrive. It is generally better suited for outdoor bog gardens or greenhouses where it can receive the high light levels it naturally demands.
