Sarracenia leucophylla fat pitchers
white pitcher plant
Description
Sarracenia leucophylla 'fat pitchers' is a striking carnivorous plant known for its distinctive, white-topped pitchers with reddish veins. These plants are renowned for their tall, colorful pitchers that are modified leaves designed to trap insects. The upper portion of the pitcher is usually white, which can turn red, with intricate venation patterns. This pitcher plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and acidic, nutrient-poor soil. Like other pitcher plants, this variety requires consistent moisture and the use of rainwater or distilled water to thrive. Providing a boggy environment can simulate its natural habitat.
