Description de la plante carnivore
Sarracenia hybrid, which has smaller pitchers compared to other Sarracenia cultivars, very vigorous it will produce a multitude of traps each season.
Care instructions:
Temperature: Sarracenia can withstand temperatures exceeding 40°C in summer and resist frosts down to -15°C in winter.
Water: For watering, use the capillary method, making sure to constantly maintain a water level of at least 4 cm, or more depending on the height of the pot. Use only rainwater, demineralized or osmosis. During periods of high summer heat, increase the water level to half the pot.
Light: Exposure to full sunlight outdoors or in a glass or plastic greenhouse.
Dormancy: All Sarracenia need a dormant period from October to March. The pitchers turn brown and die during this period. Leave them outside in full sun, always in a soggy substrate. Not giving them a dormant period in winter could cause the plant to die. You can learn more about care here.
Substrate: Choose a substrate with blond sphagnum peat moss mixed with perlite. (We recommend a mixture of 50% peat and 50% perlite.) You can also find a special substrate designed for carnivorous plants in our online shop here.
