Pick the Right Species: Pitcher plants (Sarracenia) have different growing requirements. Common species include Sarracenia purpurea, flava, and leucophylla. Investigate the species' suitability for your climate and growing circumstances.
Create the Right Environment: Pitcher plants love bright, indirect sunshine and high humidity. Choose a south-facing window or a sunny greenhouse place for your plant to enjoy several hours of sunshine daily.
Use the Right Growing Medium: Pitcher plants like acidic, nutrient-poor, well-draining soil. Ideal is equal parts sphagnum moss and perlite or coarse sand.
Water with Distilled Water or Rainwater: Tap water minerals and contaminants affect pitcher plants. Water your plant using distilled, rain, or purified water.
Keep Humidity: Pitcher plants flourish under humidity. Place the plant on a tray with water and pebbles or use a humidifier to boost humidity indoors. If grown outdoors, spray the plant periodically to maintain humidity.
