€24.00

VAT included

Sarracenia oreophila is the rarest Sarracenia species. It traditionally produces green pitchers with very fine venation, but this particular carnivorous plant has been granted cultivar status for its much more colorful foliage.

Its name refers to the only mountain on which it is found: Sand Mountain, in Alabama (USA). Grow it in the sun to reveal all its beauty!

From October to April (rest period) , the foliage of the plant partially disappears. The Sarracenia oreophila 'Sand Mountain' is then delivered in the form of a rhizome still rooted in a pot and ready to start again in spring.

Characteristic: pot 12 cm

Sarracenia oreophila 'Sand Mountain' & care

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 die 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.

Sarracenia Exhibition
