Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa — Purple Pitcher Plant

Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa, often called the Purple Pitcher Plant, is one of the hardiest and most fascinating carnivorous plants you can grow. Native to North America, it forms low rosettes of chunky purple-green pitchers that fill with rainwater. Insects are lured inside, where they eventually break down and provide nutrients for the plant.

Unlike the tall trumpet-shaped Sarracenia species, this one stays compact and spreads slowly over time, forming a lovely clump. The pitchers often develop rich red tones in bright light, making it as ornamental as it is unusual.

Light
Full sun is best. Outdoors in a sunny spot is ideal, though a very bright windowsill can also work. The more light it receives, the deeper the colouration of the pitchers.

Watering
As a bog plant, it likes consistently wet soil. Sit the pot in a shallow tray of rainwater or distilled water and keep the soil moist at all times. Avoid tap water where possible, as minerals can build up in the soil.

Temperature
Very hardy and tolerant of cold temperatures. It’s well suited to outdoor bog planters and can handle UK winters if kept wet.

Potting
Carnivorous plants need nutrient-poor soil. Use a carnivorous mix or a plain sphagnum moss. Avoid standard houseplant compost and never fertilise.

Hot Tips
If grown outdoors, the pitchers will naturally fill with rainwater — which helps the plant digest its prey. Don’t empty them! This species also produces beautiful nodding burgundy flowers in spring when mature.

Pet Safety
Not considered toxic to pets, but the pitchers can be easily damaged if played with or chewed.

Functional divider for windows privacy
Size: 8 Panel, Color: White, Size: 8 Panel, Color: White
I ordered both a six and eight panel version of the white divider. There was some confusion on the FedEx deliveries. The eight panel divider arrived at first, but Amazon showed both as delivered. I had to contact both the seller and Amazon to learn that the six panel divider was to arrive the following day by FedEx, which did occur. Both the boxes were a bit dirty and had some small punctures. This divider had a top area and bottom area set of plastic wrap tapes, both of which were loose or undone. (The eight panel divider was not so, and properly wrapped.) The top of thid divider looked a little dirty, but passable/cleanable. The seller should consider wrapping the entire product with bubble wrap to protect against potential delivery/shipping physical and water damage. (FedEx left the box by my outside door, which could have gotten potentially soaked in rain. One better be home to take delivery if the weather is bad.) This said, the divider was easy to set up, with all the metal hinges working. No assembly was required, just unboxing and standing up. The left side was a little uneven on the bottom with the first panel, but ok. In combination with my mini-blinds, it provides the additional layer of privacy I desired. I even don't notice outside headlights and tailights through the windows with my room lights on. Additionally, the divider is easy to adjust to allow access to my windows for opening and closing. So, no need for me to hang curtains and damage my drywall. Overall I give the product a C grade because of the lack of protection for the FedEx shipping. (As a former University told me years ago, "The A has been cheapened. In this class you will work for an A." And, I got a B. So, I am a bit jaded. :-)) Lastly, if one had cats and dogs, or even small children, the divider could be easy for them to topple over. I would not consider these dividerd in that case. My motto is, "Safety first."
