Know before you buy
Bare root means the plant is removed from its pot and the roots are rinsed clean of all soil or media before shipping. This method helps prevent rot during transit and allows you to inspect the health of the root system immediately upon arrival.
Yes, these are mature, flowering-size divisions. As long as you provide the appropriate light and moisture conditions, the plant is physiologically capable of producing flowers in the upcoming season.
Sarracenia require a nutrient-poor, acidic medium to thrive. A standard mix of peat moss and perlite or long-fiber sphagnum moss works best, provided it is free of added fertilizers or minerals.
While it is technically possible, Sarracenia are outdoor plants that require intense, direct sunlight to maintain their vibrant coloration and structural integrity. They generally struggle indoors unless you use high-output grow lights.
The best way to maintain moisture is to place the pot in a shallow tray filled with an inch or two of distilled or rainwater. This allows the plant to wick up exactly what it needs while ensuring the roots stay consistently hydrated.
Yes, we ship the exact specimen pictured. Because these are large, mature divisions, you can expect the plant to arrive with the same size and coloration characteristics shown in the listing.
