Sarracenia purpurea – also known as the purple pitcher plant – is one of the most fascinating carnivorous plants from North America. It originates from the damp bogs of Canada and the USA and captivates with its purple-veined, pitcher-shaped leaves , which resemble small chalices.

These unusual leaves are not only decorative, but also serve an amazing function: they act as a trapping mechanism for insects . The sweet nectar at the edge of the pitchers attracts small flies and mosquitoes, which are then prevented from escaping by fine, downward-pointing hairs. In this way, the plant supplies itself with valuable nutrients.

Sarracenia purpurea thrives in full sun and consistently moist soil that mimics its natural bog soil conditions. Use only rainwater or distilled water to protect its delicate root system. It is ideal for sunny windowsills, bog gardens, terrariums, or balcony planters , bringing a touch of the exotic and wild to any home.

During the growing season, the pitchers should remain slightly filled with water to maintain their natural function. With proper care, the plant will bloom in spring with attractive, purple flowers .
