Sarracenia psittacina 9cm

An unusual Sarracenia with low lying pitchers giving it the common name of Parrot Pitcher Plant. It is more of a lobster pot than a fall trap, when waters rise it can be submerged and aquatic creatures can enter but find it difficult to leave. It is also effective in catching terrestrial prey such as spiders or beetles. Care is the same as other Sarracenias, rain water, full sun, carnivorous plant compost and no feed. The water level can be a little higher, the plant can be submerged for a few days to try out its unusual feeding technique!
