Know before you buy
Yes. Every Sarracenia rubra ssp. rubra listed is photographed individually, so the plant you see in the image is the exact specimen you will receive.
You must use distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water. Tap water contains minerals that can be toxic to carnivorous plants and will damage the root system over time.
This species requires high light exposure to maintain its health and coloration. It should be placed in a location that receives direct sunlight for at least six to eight hours a day.
Yes, it arrives potted in a 3.5-inch square container. It is shipped as shown, so you do not need to worry about immediate repotting upon arrival.
Being seed grown means this plant was cultivated from Little Carnivores' own seed stock rather than being a clone or tissue culture. This process ensures genetic diversity and authenticity for your collection.
