Details
The Trumpet Pitcher 'Maroon' is a bold variety of *Sarracenia* with rich red to purple pitchers that give it a distinctive, dramatic look. Its upright tubular leaves naturally lure and trap insects, making it a useful addition to any terrarium with small fly or gnat populations.
Perfect for humid, high‐light conditions, this carnivorous plant thrives without fertilisers and prefers acidic, nutrient‐poor soil. Whether you're adding it to a display tank or using it as natural pest control, this pitcher plant offers visual appeal and functionality in one.
