Sarracenia flava var. cuprea

€26.00
VAT included

Sarracenia cuprea is a variety of large and beautiful Sarracenia that develops bright green pitchers that can reach 1m high. It is nevertheless distinguished by a coppery coloring of the upper part of the cap which does not make it less effective against Asian hornets than Sarracenia flava .

Taxon highly sought after by collectors of Sarracenia botanical species.

From October to April (rest period) , the foliage of the plant partially disappears. Sarracenia flava var. cuprea is then delivered in the form of a rhizome still rooted in a pot and ready to start again in the spring even if, generally, the foliage holds during the bad season.

Sarracenia & maintenance

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.
