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.
