Germination and Growing:
The seeds of this plant need temperatures between 20 and 25° to germinate. Until germination, the seeds should always be kept slightly moist, regardless of whether you pre-germinate them or germinate the seeds directly in or on growing soil. It is generally helpful to use a heated mini-greenhouse to increase the germination rate and to provide the seedlings with a favourable climate for their first growth phase. After about 2 to 4 weeks you should see the first seedlings. After about 3 months you can separate the young plants and plant them out. To increase the germination capacity, you can put the seeds in the refrigerator for 6 - 8 weeks before germination (artificial winter).
Insect-Eating Beauty
The white-leaved (leucophylla) tube plant is native to the southern USA and loves sandy, moist boggy soils. It forms rhizomes and thus reproduces itself and is hardy down to minus ten degrees. The Sarracenia Red White Pitcher Plant prefers a sunny and bright spot, the soil should be slightly acidic and low in nutrients. To supply itself with nutrients, this tubular plant uses scent glands to attract insects, which then slip into the funnel-like trap and are digested by the plant. Quite early in the year, the Red White Pitcher Plant flowers that are almost as large as the tubes/leaves and have a sweet scent.
