Sarracenia rubra ssp. alabamensis Typ Koenig
pitcher plant
Description
Sarracenia rubra ssp. alabamensis Typ Koenig is a captivating subspecies of the red pitcher plant. It is distinguished by its striking red-colored pitchers, which are modified leaves adapted for trapping insects. The pitchers secrete nectar to attract insects, and their waxy interior makes escape difficult. It grows well in moist, acidic, and nutrient-poor environments, and is primarily found in bog habitats. Ensure that the plant receives plenty of sunlight. Regular watering with mineral-free water is essential, along with providing proper drainage. To help with cultivation, use a soil mix that is predominantly peat moss with some perlite.
