- Growing Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly
- Lifespan
- 10+ years
- Size
- 15-30cm
- Watering
- Insects (auto-capture)
- Light & Placement
- Prefers a sunny position. Grown outdoors in full sun, the red-purple color deepens and the plant stays sturdy.
- Watering
- Tray-water to keep it moist with pure or rain water. Rainwater collecting in the open-hooded pitchers is natural and need not be emptied.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use pure sphagnum or peat moss with perlite. Do not fertilize; divide and repot when the rhizomes get crowded.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Extremely cold hardy, overwintering outdoors even in cold regions. Winter dormancy matters; exposure to cold keeps it growing well.
- Pruning & Shaping
- A low, stout plant 15-30 cm tall. Cut dead pitchers at the base and divide the clump when it becomes crowded.
