not what the box says?


Question

in the death cub
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?

Answer
Hi Matt,

The plant is Sarracenia minor.  The lid over the pitcher is to keep out rainwater, so avoid putting any sort of water in the pitchers.  Unlike Nepenthes, they don't produce any pitcher fluids.

For info about caring for this plant, read the care instruction for North American pitcher plants:

Good growing!
