The Sarracenia purpurea is one of the most emblematic and hardy carnivorous plants. Its low pitchers, with an open shape and deep reddish colors, fill with rainwater to digest insects, making its trap a true natural well.
It is ideal for growing outdoors in sunny spots, very resistant to cold, and perfect for observing how a carnivorous plant works at its fullest. A perfect choice for both beginners and seasoned collectors.
Buy your Sarracenia purpurea in our online carnivorous plant shop and enjoy an iconic and easy-to-care-for species.
Plant and Pot Size Guide.
Plant and Pot Size Guide.
The sizes of the plants will always be those of the following item unless otherwise specified in the listing.
Dionaea muscipula
During the growing season, the size indicated on the website corresponds to the size of the rosette. That is, from tip to tip of the leaves. During winter, and due to the hibernation process, the size of the plants corresponds to what they will reach in the next growing season.
S: Young plant about 3cm in diameter. In a pot of 8.5-9cm
M: Semi-mature plant about 5cm in diameter. In a pot of 8.5-9cm
L: Adult plant about 8cm in diameter. In a pot of 8.5-9cm
XL: Adult plant about 11cm in diameter. In a pot of 8.5-9cm
Drosera
In winter, those from temperate climates that are in hibernation will be sent without leaves.
M: Several young / semi-mature plants in a pot 8.5-9cm in diameter.
L: Several adult plants capable of flowering in a pot 8.5-9cm in diameter.
Sarracenia
In Sarracenia, setting a standard size in centimeters is very complicated, since some plants grow upright and others grow sprawling, so the plant will be proportional in size to the pot. Obviously, we will not put a 20cm tall plant in a 5.5cm diameter pot nor a 5cm tall plant in a 14cm diameter pot.
S: Small size (Pot 5.5cm in diameter)
M: Medium size without flowering capacity (Pot 8.5cm in diameter)
L: Large size with flowering capacity (Pot 8.5cm in diameter)
XL: Very large size with more than one division and flowering capacity (Round pot 12cm in diameter or square 11x11cm)
Pinguicula
There are many species, some only 2-3cm as adults and others over 15cm, so a pot proportional to the size of the plant at the time of cultivation will be used, similar to the sarracenias.
S: Small-sized plants in a pot 5.5cm or 8.5cm in diameter.
M: Medium-sized plants in a pot 8.5cm in diameter.
L: Large-sized plants in a pot 8.5cm in diameter
Utricularia and Stylidium
Since these are mostly ground-covering plants, the size is determined by the portion of the pot surface colonized.
M: Plants in a pot 8.5cm in diameter occupying a medium portion of the pot.
L: Plants in a pot 8.5cm in diameter occupying the whole pot or nearly so.
