A gift from me to me. After all the crazyness at work(I work at the post office so you can imagine Christmas time is a nightmare for us) I thought I’d treat myself. I’ve read all about it but if anyone has any experience with them, any further #advice would be appreciated 🙂

Good for you! 😀 They're unusual looking plants aren't they? 💚

They really are! Ive just ordered sarracenia as well as i like it so much! My husband won’t be happy, the kitchen is more like a jungle now 😂 @anges

Stand the pot in a saucer and keep it stood in water all the time as pitcher plants prefer soggy soil. Use rain water if you can.

Hi Karolina, Well Done! Always the best gifts 😉 They need to be warm and humid, so might do well in your bathroom. We used to have both #nepenthes and #sarracenia and kept them in a glass case with a tray full of water and gravel at the bottom. Some sarracenia are hardy though - I have one that lives on the edge of our pond. Hope that helps 👍
