Product Description

Carnivorous Pitcher Plants (Sarracenia) should be grown in a sunny window. Keep moist at all times. Pitcher plants generally require no supplemental fertilizer, although you can mist the plants with a very dilute fertilizer solution during spring and summer (mix no more than ¼ to ½ teaspoon per gallon, using a water-soluble fertilizer formulated for bromeliads or orchids). Your adult pitcher plant will be happy if it can catch a couple of insects every month. If you don’t have bugs flying around your house, provide a freshly killed insect once in a while, (no insecticides!). Use only small bugs that fit easily into the pitchers. Don’t overfeed, and don’t be tempted to give your plants chunks of meat. Remember that carnivorous plants have very low nutrient requirements and too much food or fertilizer can be deadly.

    Sarracenia

    Posted by Nancy McSpadden on Jun 23rd 2022

    I received 2 Sarracenia and a Nepenthes. They were in 2" pots but very small/short. They arrived with little soil loss. The pitchers on the Nepenthes were dried and fell off, leaving it with to means with which to feed itself. One of the Sarracenia was basically doa but I planted it and it has grown a single pitcher. Two of the three plants delivered may not survive. I am not enthusiastic about this delivery.

    A random plant

    Posted by P. Dillon on May 25th 2022

    I recently lrdered this assortment and, as always from Hirt's, the plants are in great shape. However, instead of getting three pitcher plants, I got TWO pitcher plants and some sort of random plant that I (and Hirt's) have yet to identify. I have written to Hirt's, with a photo, but, as yet, have gotten no answer. The random plant and no answer from Hirt's about why they sent me two carnivorous and one random plants is the reason for my 3-star rating.
