This Sarracenia alata present in the southern United States (Louisiana, Alabama) is a carnivorous plant which measures from 30 to 70 cm high, the leaves are green with red veins depending on the varieties and the sunshine just like the Sarracenia alata .
The pubescent variant of this rare Sarracenia develops an indumentum of short hairs over the entire leaf surface, giving it a velvety appearance.
From October to April (rest period) , the foliage of the plant partially disappears. The Sarracenia alata pubescente is then delivered in the form of a rhizome still rooted in a pot and ready to start again in the spring.

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.
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.
To be totally avoided! The plant provides its own organic nutrient needs thanks to its traps.
