Sarracenia 'Judith Hindle' is a captivating carnivorous plant bred by Alan Hindle in England and lovingly named after his wife by Peter D’Amato of California Carnivores. This exquisite hybrid is a result of the crossbreeding of Sarracenia purpurea with Sarracenia flava, followed by a second cross with Sarracenia leucophylla. The result is a stunning cultivar admired for its vibrant colors and ruffled pitchers.
Key Features:
-
Pitcher Design: The plant boasts 8–12 inch tall pitchers with elegant ruffled hoods, making it a standout feature in any carnivorous plant collection.
-
Coloration: The pitchers begin as a light green and transition to a deep red adorned with delicate white blotches as they mature, especially when grown in full sunlight.
-
Hybrid Excellence: Combining traits from its parent species, 'Judith Hindle' is not only visually stunning but also a strong and resilient cultivar.
Care Instructions:
-
Light: Thrives in full sun; aim for at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily to enhance its coloration and growth.
-
Water: Use distilled, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Avoid tap water as it can harm the plant.
-
Soil: Prefers a nutrient-poor, well-draining medium, such as sphagnum moss mixed with perlite or sand.
-
Humidity: Ideal for environments with moderate to high humidity, making it suitable for outdoor bog gardens, greenhouses, or terrariums.
-
Dormancy: This plant requires a winter dormancy period. Expect the pitchers to die back during cooler months as the plant conserves energy for spring growth.
