Question
what am i
I know buying from death cubes is taboo but they were right
in front of me and i couldnt resist. The label says
serecenia purpuria, but i have a purple pitcher and this is
not that..i think its a flava..but im not sure..can u
confirm? do i put the distilled or rain water in this
pitcher or does it make its own?..its not a cobra
plant..minus the lil tongue part is it?
AnswerHello Matt,
No, your Sarracenia is not a Purple Pitcher Plant or a Cobra Plant. The store you bought it from has it wrong, again. What you have is most definitely a Sarracenia though, so they have the genus correct at least. As a matter of fact, you have a nice looking Sarracenia minor there. Good going and good luck with it. Give it full sun and clean mineral free water. It has hoods over the pitchers, so it does not need water poured inside its pitchers. Thats the way you can tell is if the hoods extend over the opening (no rain gets in) or remain flared back (rain falls in and is actually funneled into the pitchers) from the opening.
