Product Description: Sarracenia purpurea venosa 'Clementina' is an impressive carnivorous plant from the Sarraceniaceae family, native to the southeastern United States. Its pitchers, which have transformed into traps, exhibit a unique lime green coloration with burgundy veins, attracting and trapping insects through a passive trapping mechanism with digestive fluid. This variety, selected for its exceptional color intensity, is ideal both for carnivorous plant collectors and lovers of unusual plants.

Growth and Development: Sarracenia purpurea venosa 'Clementina' grows as a compact rosette, with the pitchers arranged radially around the central growth point. Under optimal conditions, the rosette can reach a diameter of 25-35 cm, with 5-10 active pitchers simultaneously. The plant has a moderate growth rate—producing 2-4 new pitchers per growing season (spring and summer), while older pitchers gradually brown and are naturally replaced. The annual cycle of Sarracenia includes a dormant period in winter, important for the long-term health of the plant. During this time, old pitchers wither and the plant concentrates its energy in the rhizome. Spring first brings the flower cluster, followed by new pitchers that slowly unfold like green horns, gradually gaining color as they mature.

• Light: Direct or very bright sunlight—minimum of 4-6 hours of direct sun daily.
• Temperature: 15-30°C during the growing season. Can withstand temperatures down to -10°C during dormancy (winter).
• Watering: Permanently moist substrate. Tray method: place the pot in a tray with 2-3 cm of distilled or rainwater.
• Humidity: 50-80%. Adapts to normal indoor humidity but benefits from higher levels.
• Substrate: Sphagnum mix with perlite in a 1:1 ratio.
• Fertilization: Never fertilize through the substrate or water!
• Propagation: By dividing the rhizome during dormancy or by seeds (requires cold stratification).
