Description

The stylish way to deal with pesky flies in your home. An insect-catching houseplant, and a unique one at that!

See a stark contrast in green to red colour on the trumpets of this low maintenance indoor plant. Also known as Sarracenia stevensii, this hybrid creates a display of many green 'pitchers', which are narrower and slightly less tall than close relatives. The cupped tips open up to reveal a captivating red coloration, and a slight mottled effect to the edges. Reaching high, flies and insects can get lured and trapped inside the cups, decomposing them in time.

For best impact, house this indoor plant in a bright spot of the room, such as on a windowsill, as consistent sunlight will help it to thrive. Use rainwater, where possible, when giving it a drink as normal tap water can cause some lasting effects.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to display.

Top Tips
Place your houseplant in a bright spot out of direct sunlight. Mist leaves regularly and wipe occasionally to remove dust and restore their glossy sheen.
Care Information
  • Best grown in indirect sunlight in an average room temperature - avoid large temperature fluctuations.
  • Water regularly, using rainwater where possible, and allow the soil to dry a bit between watering.
  • Feed once a month with a general-purpose liquid houseplant feed.
  • Mist leaves to maintain humidity. Clean leaves regularly with a damp cloth.
  • Do not place in direct sunlight, as this will scorch and yellow the leaves.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
