Sarracenia purpurea

Sarracenia purpurea, also known as the purple pitcher plant, features striking red-purple pitcher-shaped leaves and unique flowers in late spring. It attracts attention with its unusual carnivorous form, not for fragrance or air purification. Easy to care for, it suits beginners but prefers bright light and high humidity. Ideal for sunny windowsills, terrariums, or balconies—not recommended for bedrooms due to insect attraction. Growth is moderate, requiring some patience. Non-toxic to touch but not edible; supervision is advised around children and pets.
