Sarracenia
PITCHER PLANT MIX
SKU: 294-10
Sarracenia are perennial carnivorous plants. This mix contains a large number of Sarracenia including some unique crosses using Puffy Cheek, Aeorolata, Diana's Delight, Bouche Flip Rouge, Kermit, Hurricane Creek White, and species including psittacina, purpurea, alata, rubra, and minor. Most sarracenia are hardy in zones 8-10, and some are hardy outdoors down to zone 6. They can also be grown as house plants.
Type: Perennial or houseplant
Hardiness zones: 6-10
Location: Sun or part sun
Germination: Fill the container with a mix of peat and perlite at a 1:1 ratio. Place the seeds on the surface of the pre-dampened mix, and gently water with a spray bottle. Cover with clear plastic, and place your container in a cool area (but not freezing) for 6 weeks. Once the cold period is completed, place the container at room temperature, and in bright light for them to germinate. Be sure to keep the soil moist during this entire germination period. Most seedlings will sprout within 2-3 months of the warming period, though some may take a little longer. Once plants sprout, slowly remove the plastic, a little bit each day. Always keep the soil slightly moist, never letting it dry out.
In the winter, plants need about 3 months dormancy period, to rest. If growing your plants indoors, place the pot in a cool location for this cold period.
