	Sarracenia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sarracenia is a genus comprising the eight (or arguably up to thirteen) species of North American pitcher plants.
		Sarracenia are herbaceous perennial plants that grow from a subterranean rhizome, with many tubular pitcher-shaped leaves radiating out from the growing point, and then turning upwards with their trap openings facing the centre of the crown.
		Sarracenia were discovered as early as the 16th century, within a century of Christopher Columbus' discovery of the New World.

	ICPS Seed Bank
		Sarracenia flowers are designed so that a pollinator visiting a flower must brush past a stigma (the pollen receptive part) to get into the chambered part of the flower where the nectar and stamens (the pollen producing part) are located.
		Sarracenia flava is the one to be most careful about if you want lots of seeds and healthy plants.
		Sarracenia rubra at the other extreme tends to have very many flowers per plant in nature and selfing is not a problem.

	List of Sarracenia species and hybrids - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The following is a list of species belonging to the North American pitcher plant genus (Sarracenia).
		Sarracenia rubra is arguably a complex of several species and subspecies (including S.
		These species are all popularly cultivated by carnivorous plant enthusiasts, and there are consequently a large number of hybrids and cultivars: S.

		Mixtures of peat and sand to a 1:1 ratio are fine for Sarracenia.
		For Sarracenia, full sunlight is the best, but this may cause crisping pitchers in the dry summers.

	North-American Pitcher Plants - Meanplants.com
		Sarracenia, commonly known as North-American Pitcher Plants, are some of the most beautiful flora in the world.
		Sarracenia Leucophylla is capable of growing very tall green/white topped pitchers well over 3 ft, while the cultivar Sarracenia Willissi is a mix of shorter species with darker red coloring.
		Sarracenia Rubra is known as 'the Sweeet Trumpet,' because its dark maroon blooms actually smell good-which is rare among Sarracenia.

		A common plant in the bogs of the northeastern part of North America is Sarracenia purpurea (pitcher plant, Figure 1).
		For Sarracenia in the southeastern United States, it appears that mineral nitrogen and phosphorus are not important limiting nutrients (Eleutarius and Jones 1969).
		A slightly larger inhabitant, the larva of the blowfly, Sarcophaga sarraceniae, spends its larval life deep at the bottom of the tube where it enjoys the decaying parts of the captive prey.

	World of Carnivores - Carnivorous Plants - Sarracenia - Pitcher Plant Propagation
		This isn't a reliable way for Sarracenia propagation for the most part in my opinion, at least for the beginner.
		All Sarracenia division should be done at the end of dormancy, either just before it starts to grow again or just after.
		One way you can do this is place the Sarracenia seeds in a small zip lock bag with a moist piece of long fiber sphagnum moss for six weeks.

		If your humidity is at least: above 30% most of the time, 50% some of the time and winters don't dip below 0º F for more than a few days at a time you can.
		Sarracenia are tough to grow inside because of their size and light requirements, not to mention dormancy.
		I fill the pot about half full, depth depends on what is needed to accommodate the particular plant you are planting based on root length, then I hold the Sarracenia over the pot in the area I want it and at the finished height I desire.

		The Sarracenia are one of the most efficient of all carnivorous plants, consuming vast numbers of insects.
		It lures its prey by secreting nectar around the lip of the pitcher; the nectar paralyses the insect and it falls into the tube.
		Sarracenia are native to the wet savannahs in the southeast USA, from northeastern Florida to eastern Mississippi.

	Sarracenia leucophylla
		Sarracenia leucophylla, the white-topped pitcher plant, occurs in bogs and wet pine savannas in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi.
		The nectar-producing ‘pitchers’ of these rare carnivorous plants are actually specialized leaves that lure, trap, and digest insects as a means to obtain the nutrients lacking in the infertile soil in which they grow.
		Demand for Sarracenia leucophylla for use in floral displays has led to widespread, illegal, and unsustainable harvesting of wild plants.

		The influence of [Sarracenia leucophylla {Raf.}] is expressed, at most, as a slight undulation in the pitcher lid.
		Characteristic of the [Sarracenia psittacina {Michx.}] parent, the back of the hood and upper pitcher have prominent irregular white spots, and the pitcher's interior is profusely lined with long hairs to 2 mm long.
		The plant appears to be a hybrid between [Sarracenia alata {Wood}] and [Sarracenia purpurea {L.} subsp.venosa {(Raf.) Wherry}] (undoubtedly the "Louis Burk" pink-flowered form ([Sarracenia purpurea {L.} subsp.venosa {(Raf.) Wherry} var.burkii {Schnell}])), both of which grow in the vicinity but do not hybridize commonly.

		The result is a compact plant, 8-10 inches tall, with maroon-red pitchers etched in a mosaic of intricate dark red veins on a mottled background of creamy yellow.
		Like all pitcher plants, sarracenias lure their prey with a nectar secreted by their leaves.
		Although sarracenias are still being wild-collected, there is a growing cadre of environmentally conscious nurseries that offer ethically propagated plants.

		Younger sarracenia are very interesting to grow in terrariums, but for many reasons it is best to grow sarracenia outdoors when possible.
		When planting a bare root sarracenia, only the roots and lower portion of the rhizome need to be beneath soil level.
		Fill an appropriate sized pot about 1/3-1/2 way up, then place the root system in and center your plant, hold it in place with one hand, and add soil with the other until the plant is supported.

		Sarracenia purpurea L. Commonly known as pitcher plants (see the leaves of the pitcher plant via Google Image Search for the reason why), the genus Sarracenia is solely distributed in eastern North America.
		As they are bog plants, access to nutrients is a challenge; insectivory, which gives the plants access to a fairly high amount of nitrogen, is an effective adaptation to the stress of living in a nutrient-poor environment.
		This flower photograph of Sarracenia purpurea was taken at the edge of the Libau Bog Ecological Reserve in Manitoba last year.

	Pitcherplant (Sarracenia )
		Insects become trapped in the liquid in the pitcher where the soluble nutrients from the insects are absorbed by the plant.
		There are several antidotal accounts of doctors and native healers using a root infusion of Sarracenia to cure smallpox which ravaged Native Americans who had no immunity to it when first exposed to it by white settlers.
		No one was able to establish the validity of this treatment and since smallpox has been practically eliminated world wide since 1978 the point is academic.
