DETAILS

Onderhoudsinstructies
Sarracenia rubra requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in warm temperatures and high humidity. Watering should ensure that the soil remains consistently wet, as the plant prefers waterlogged conditions. Avoid using tap water; instead, use rainwater or distilled water to prevent mineral buildup.
Bodem
The Sweet Pitcher Plant prefers acidic, nutrient-poor soil. A mix of peat and sand is ideal, providing good drainage while retaining moisture. The soil should be kept consistently wet, mimicking the plant's natural boggy habitat.
Kunstmest
Sarracenia rubra does not require fertilizer, as it obtains nutrients from the insects it traps. Adding fertilizer can harm the plant, so it is best to avoid it altogether.
Verpotten
Repotting should be done every 2-3 years during the plant's dormancy period. Use a fresh mix of peat and sand, and ensure the new pot has adequate drainage. Handle the rhizomes carefully to avoid damage.
Voortplanting
Propagation can be done through division of the rhizomes during the dormancy period. Carefully separate the rhizomes and plant them in individual pots with the appropriate soil mix. Keep the soil consistently moist to encourage new growth.
Snoeien
Pruning is generally not required for Sarracenia rubra. However, dead or dying leaves can be removed to maintain the plant's appearance and health. Use clean, sharp scissors to cut the leaves at the base.
Toxiciteit
Sarracenia rubra is not toxic to pets or humans. However, it is a carnivorous plant, so it is best to keep it out of reach of small children and pets to avoid accidental damage to the plant.
Aanvullend
Ensure that Sarracenia rubra receives a dormancy period of about 3 months during the winter. This can be achieved by reducing the temperature and light exposure. This period is crucial for the plant's long-term health and growth.
