Sarracenia Leucophylla 'Hurricane Creek White' is a stunning carnivorous pitcher plant, celebrated for its ethereal beauty and unique coloring. Its tall, slender pitchers are predominantly a crisp, clean white, creating a striking contrast against delicate green veining that fans out like intricate lacework. The upper portion of the pitcher is almost translucent, allowing sunlight to filter through and accentuate its graceful design. The vibrant white transitions into a soft green near the base, with faint hints of pink or red occasionally visible around the mouth of the pitcher, depending on the growing conditions. The plant's elegant, upright form and captivating coloration make it a true centerpiece in any carnivorous plant collection.

Grown from tissue culture, this 1 small plant (approximately 2-5 cm) is perfect for collectors and enthusiasts looking to nurture a unique botanical treasure. This variety hails from the wetlands of the southeastern United States, specifically the Gulf Coast region, and is revered for its vibrant and luminous coloration.


Care Instructions:

  • Humidity: Maintain high humidity (above 50%) using the included cup lid or a humidity dome.
  • Light: Requires bright, indirect light to thrive. A grow light with 10,000–15,000 lux is ideal for young plants. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight until fully hardened.
  • Water: Use only distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. Keep the potting mix consistently moist but not waterlogged.
  • Temperature: Prefers warm days (20–30°C) and cooler nights (10–15°C). Ensure temperature stability.
  • Soil: Plant in a nutrient-free carnivorous plant mix (e.g., peat moss and silica sand or perlite).
  • Feeding: Do not fertilize young plants. They will naturally capture small prey as they grow.

Growing Parameters:

  • Native Habitat: Gulf Coast wetlands, USA.
  • Growth Rate: Slow-growing as it establishes roots in its new environment.
  • Mature Size: Pitchers can grow up to 60 cm tall under optimal conditions.

This Sarracenia Leucophylla 'Hurricane Creek White' is a must-have for carnivorous plant enthusiasts. With proper care, it will reward you with its striking pitchers and elegant presence, making it the star of any collection.

What is a Tissue Culture?

A tissue culture vessel is a sterile, transparent container (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) that holds multiple young plants (typically 3 or more) grown under laboratory conditions.

These vessels provide a carefully controlled environment, keeping the plants healthy and contaminant-free until they're ready to transition to standard growing conditions.

Quick Hardening Steps:

  1. Open Lid Gradually: Slightly open the cup to slowly reduce humidity.
  2. Maintain Humidity: Gradually decrease humidity over 2–4 weeks.
  3. Indirect Light: Start with gentle, indirect lighting.
  4. Moist Soil: Keep media damp, never wet.
  • Monitor Closely: Slowly increase airflow and light exposure.

What is a Soil Cup?

Each transparent carnivorous cup (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant freshly transitioned from tissue culture.

Inside, you'll find a young carnivorous plant planted securely in special growing media soil that replicates their natural habitat.

This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity, aiding the delicate plants during their crucial hardening-off stage.

Perfect for both novice growers and experienced collectors, these cups provide a simple and effective way to cultivate and enjoy captivating insect-eating plants
