Sarracenia purpurea Plant Profile

You're in for a treat this week -

It's another plant we both love! And wow - tangent city, OK? We each try to recall the same fateful plant shopping trip from years ago, but will we agree on the particulars? Matthew claims this is Stephen's Plant Daddy origin story. Oh, right, we're talking about the Purple Pitcher Plant. Is this a good first Carnivorous Plant? Do they need a dormancy? Can I grow one indoors? Well, at least for the last one, it's better to ask if you should.

Mentioned in this episode:

  • excellent beginner carnivorous plants - tips, tricks, and getting started for success

  • botanical adaptations, natural ecology, distribution, and forms of this North American native

  • temperate region plants as houseplants - winter dormancy and seasonality, light availability, and when some plants are best grown outdoors
