Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia sp.) Care

Use only pure water – rainwater, distilled water or RO water. Be careful of bottled water as some contain salt which will kill your Pitcher Plant
Keep soil moist; usually a tray or dish with 1/2 to 1.0 inch of water
Mist the pitcher every few days with pure water
Pitcher plants like a sunny or partial sunny location.
Soil is a mixture of 50% peat and 50% play sand. Some growers add pearlite to the mix.
Do not fertilize your plant. Pitcher plants will receive sufficient nutrition from the bugs they catch
It’s best to let your Pitcher plant go dormant from Thanksgiving to Valentines Day. Keep cool but freezing; keep moist but not too wet. A cold garage, cold window are good – 35 to 50 degrees.
Repot your pitcher plant every 3 to 5 years during its dormancy; use a taller pot

Pitcher plants are best in bogs but can survive in a sunny window but must have a rest period
