Powerful fast-growing hybrid with white, red-veined parrot pitchers, can form up to 100 pitchers per clump

Sarracenia × 'Scarlet Belle' is a very beautiful and powerful hybrid between Sarracenia leucophylla and Sarracenia psittacina (parrot pitcher plant). It has quickly become a favorite among carnivorous plants and is a selected superior clone propagated through tissue culture.

This fast-growing hybrid forms a clump approximately 40 centimeters wide of upright, white pitchers with red vein patterns and parrot-like heads that lean forward as they mature. Prey beware, each clump can form up to 100 pitchers! It also divides quickly and is very easy to cultivate.

Care

Requires plenty of light and water. Use a nutrient-poor substrate of sphagnum moss and perlite or sand, never ordinary potting soil or fertilizer. Place the pot in a tray with water to keep the substrate constantly moist, and water only with distilled or rainwater.

Can be grown outdoors in much of southern and central Sweden with some winter protection.

Winter dormancy is mandatory! The plant needs a cold resting period to maintain its vigor and prevent premature death.
