🪰🎷 Sarracenia Pitcher Plant – The Trumpet-Playing Bug Trap with Style! 🎷🪰
Step aside, basic houseplants—the Sarracenia Pitcher Plant is here to bring the drama, the flair, and the all-you-can-eat insect buffet! With its tall, colorful, trumpet-shaped pitchers and attitude for days, this carnivorous diva turns flies into snacks and your garden into a Jurassic wonderland.
☀️ Sun = Sass – This plant thrives in full sun, and when it gets enough rays, its pitchers explode with color—striped, spotted, and totally fabulous. The more sun, the wilder the look!
💦 Thirsty, but Make It Specific – Keep the soil wet and boggy, just like its natural swampy hangout. Use rainwater or distilled water only—tap water is a no-go unless you’re trying to make your plant break up with you.
🪰 Nature’s Fly Swatter – Bugs beware! These fancy tubes are insect traps, luring pests in with sweet nectar and dropping them into a digestive doom spiral. It’s a plant AND pest control system, all in one stylish package.
Perfect for outdoor bog gardens, container displays, or spooky-chic indoor setups, the Sarracenia Pitcher Plant is ideal for plant lovers who want something weird, wild, and wonderfully wicked.
🌿💀 Add this botanical beast to your collection—because no one ever said pest control had to be boring!
COLD CLIMATES - ADD HEAT PACK
We strongly advise to include a Heat Pack (available on our shop) in order to protect the plant from temperature extremes. Any order that does NOT have a heat pack is not covered by the live plant guarantee.
Plant Sizing Guide
What Size Am I Getting? Let's Break It Down.
We get it—plant sizes can be confusing. Is a “small” the size of a golf ball or a grapefruit? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Below is a quick guide to help you understand what each size means when shopping our plants. Measurements refer to the plant body, not including the pot (unless noted).
Tiny
- Baby plants or starter plugs. May be rooted or freshly cut. 0.5"–1.5" wide.
- Example: Butterwort plug, small seedling
Small
- Young plant, well-rooted, 1.5"–3" wide or tall.
- Example: Aeonium cutting, sundew cluster
Medium
- Established plant, 3"–5" wide/tall. Ready for repotting or display.
- Example: 2–3 year-old cactus, flowering flytrap
Large
- Mature plant, 5"–8" wide/tall. Great for centerpieces or statement planters.
- Example: Dioscorea elephantipes, pitcher plant
XL (Collector Size)
- Rare or mature specimen, 8"+ or unusually large or sculptural in form.
- Example: Caudex giants, multi-head aeoniums
📦 Note:
- Pot sizes (if included) are listed separately on product pages.
- Some species naturally stay small—even large ones might only be a few inches wide. Check individual listings for details.
- Photos are of representative plants—your plant may vary slightly (because nature’s not into clones).
