Overview
Sarracenia purpurea subsp. venosa ‘Ewelina’ is a compact and vividly coloured North American pitcher plant cultivar prized for its richly veined red and green pitchers. Each trap forms a low rosette, flaring open to reveal intricate patterns and a glossy sheen that deepens with sunlight. The pitchers collect rainwater to form natural digestive pools, making this species both visually striking and functionally fascinating.

Plant Details
Each Grow Cup contains one young Sarracenia purpurea subsp. venosa ‘Ewelina’ planted in a nutrient-free carnivorous plant mix designed to maintain excellent drainage and moisture retention. The sealed humidity cup helps the plant adjust easily to its new environment while keeping it healthy and hydrated during shipping.

Care Requirements

  • Light: Full sun or strong artificial lighting for best colour and pitcher development.

  • Water: Use distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water only. Keep soil consistently moist—never let it dry out.

  • Temperature: Ideal range 10–30°C. Tolerant of cool climates.

  • Feeding: No fertiliser required. The plant gains nutrients from captured insects.

  • Dormancy: Requires a winter dormancy period of approximately 3–4 months at cooler temperatures to ensure long-term health.

Perfect For:
Collectors seeking a hardy and colourful Sarracenia purpurea variety suited to terrariums, bog gardens, or outdoor pots.

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
