Sarracenia rubra ssp. rubra

€22.00
Tax included

The pitchers of Sarracenia rubra , slender and a fine red, are topped with a slightly pointed lid. A sweet nectar, intended to attract and intoxicate insects, is produced at the entrance of the trap.

Easy to grow, like all Sarracenia , this carnivorous plant can be placed outdoors all year round.

From October to April (dormant period) , the plant's foliage partially disappears. Sarracenia rubra ssp. rubra is then delivered as a rooted rhizome in a pot, ready to regrow in the spring.

A plant that is dying is often due to unsuitable growing conditions. Consult our guide: Why is my carnivorous plant dying ?

Sarracenia & care

Sarracenia and Temperature

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

Sarracenia and watering

Use only rainwater, demineralized water, or reverse osmosis water. Water that is too hard (high in calcium) will kill your Sarracenia in a few weeks. Do not use bottled water, as it generally contains too many salts, which are harmful to the plant. In summer, place the plant in a large saucer filled with water. In winter, keep the potting mix moist.

Fertilizer for Sarracenia

Absolutely avoid this! The plant provides for its own needs in organic nutrients thanks to its traps.

Substrate for Sarracenia

Carnivorous plant mix is the basic substrate for many species; you can make it yourself by mixing blonde peat , perlite and vermiculite (4V/1V/1V) or blonde peat and non-calcareous aquarium sand (2V/1V).
