Sarracenia Rubra "Red Trumpet Pitcher Plant"

3" Pot
 
Sarracenia Rubra or Red Trumpet Pitcher plant is a carnivorous plant with attractive red and green pitchers. They prefer bright light and can handle full sun when properly acclimated. They are very effective at trapping and killing insects. Insects that land on the lids are paralyzed by the nectar, they then fall into the digestive fluids in the pitchers where they decompose into nutrients that is absorbed by the plant. They love moisture and do not like to dry out, making them great closed terrarium plants as well. In their native environments they are bog plants. They also do well in water gardens. Use distilled, bottled or chlorine free water for watering.
