Sarracenia leucophylla pubescent pink

Sarracenia and Temperature

Up to 40°C in summer. Protect from frost if the carnivorous plant is in a small pot (less than 20 cm in diameter). Tolerates up to -15°C in a large pot or peat bog.

Sarracenia and watering

Use only rainwater, demineralized or osmosis. Water that is too hard will cause your Sarracenia to wither in a few weeks. Do not use bottled water, as it generally contains too much salt, which is harmful to the plant. In summer, place the plant in a large saucer with water. In winter, keep the substrate moist.

Fertilizer for Sarracenia

To be totally avoided! The plant provides its own organic nutrient needs thanks to its traps.

Full sun.

The mixture for carnivorous plants is the basic substrate for many species, you can make it yourself by mixing blond peat, perlite and vermiculite, (4V/1V/1V) or blond peat, and non-calcareous aquarium sand (2V/1V).
