Sarracenia oreophila
green pitcher plant
Description
Sarracenia oreophila, the green pitcher plant, is a rare carnivorous plant native to the southeastern United States. It is characterized by its vibrant green, upright pitchers. These pitcher-shaped leaves lure insects inside. The pitchers are often marked with red veins. The plant thrives in sunny, boggy conditions and acidic, nutrient-poor soils. The plant produces downward-facing, umbrella-like, yellow flowers. When cultivating, provide full sun, a nutrient-poor soil mix, and keep the soil consistently moist with rainwater or distilled water. This species is prized for its beauty and rarity.
