Sarracenia 'Smoorii'
Sarracenia 'Smoorii'
Sarracenia ‘Smoorii’ is a captivating trumpet pitcher plant, characterized by its unique appearance of bright green foliage adorned with deep red veins, forming distinctive ‘pitchers’. These vertical, trumpet-shaped pitchers serve as traps for flies and other small insects, which the plant subsequently digests. To thrive, Sarracenia ‘Smoorii’ requires ample natural light, making it ideal for placement on a sunny windowsill. In its natural habitat, pitcher plants are typically found in damp, swampy environments, indicating the need for consistently moist soil. It’s essential to avoid using tap water, as it may contain high levels of lime and other chemicals detrimental to the plant’s health; instead, opt for rainwater or distilled water for watering.

Sarracenia Plant Care
Watering
You can’t overwater a Sarracenia, in principle. It’s not a problem for this plant to stand continuously in water. We advise you to put the potted plant in a dish of water. Make sure there is always enough water in the dish. Tap water is fine.
Location
Keep the plant in a light spot. This is important for growth and colouring. This can be in the window sill or outside. The plant also likes a humid climate.
All the Sarracenias in our range can easily survive in temperatures between -10°C to 40°C. Therefore, pond side is the ideal place for the plant outside. The plant goes dormant towards autumn and winter. Old pitchers turn brown and the plant doesn’t form new pitchers. In spring or early summer the development of the plant and new pitchers will resume.
Fertilizer
The same applies to all carnivorous plants. They started to catch insects because they live in nutrient-poor soil. Although fertilizer is easy, you quickly give too much. Therefore it is better not to give any.
