Sarracenia Farnhamii is a naturally occurring hybrid of Sarracenia Leucophylla and Rubra. We've found that these are some of our fastest growing pitchers currently and that they thrive in the heat and sun. The Leucophylla in the pitchers provides beautiful white fenestrations throughout -- especially on the lids.

These come pre-potted in sphagnum moss in a 3.5" pot or a 6" pot.

Care Instructions

Light

Sarracenia love full sun and will show their best features in the sun – especially in the summer for many.

Water

  • Must be constantly wet (sitting in a tray of water – 1-inch or so is good).
  • Only use distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. Do not use purified water. Any water with > 50 PPM TDS will kill your plant over time. Filtered water is often not filtered enough for these plants.

Temperature

They will thrive nearly year-round in the conditions we have in Florida and will generally experience 3-4 months of dormancy in the winter. You can leave them outside during this time. Trimming pitchers during this time is recommended. Humidity should be 50%+.

Fertilizer

Fertilizer isn't required, but can help with growth and developing larger pitchers. Fertilize in the evening every 2 weeks with ¼ teaspoon of MaxSea 16-16-16 mixed with 1-gallon of water. Spray the leaves and a quick spritz inside of a trap or two. You can feed live bugs, but generally they will catch what they attract.
