The Sarracenia Tess Pitcher Plant is a stunning carnivorous plant that will bring a unique element to your plant collection with its upright, tube-shaped pitchers and unusual appearance. These specialist pitchers naturally attract and trap insects, making Sarracenia a fascinating choice for anyone looking for a plant with real character.
For best results, keep your Sarracenia Tess in a bright area with lots of natural light and keep the growing medium moist at all times. Carnivorous plants can be sensitive to minerals in tap water, so rainwater or distilled water is recommended.
The Sarracenia Tess Pitcher Plant is ideal for windowsills, conservatories and carnivorous plant collections and makes an unusual addition to the home and a brilliant gift for plant enthusiasts.
