Sarracenia: Pitcher Plants The genus Sarracenia contains 8 species. Sarracenia species hybridize readily and the offspring of this hybridization are also fertile. This has resulted in a plethora of natural & man-made hybrids. In the early days of Sarracenia study, botanists were confused by the profusion of natural hybrids, varieties and forms found in the wild. In consequence, natural hybrids were often given species names. These names are still used colloquially today. In our availability list below, obsolete species names are in lower case with single quotation marks, registered cultivar names are capitalized with single quotation marks, the less formal category "form" is indicated with double quotation marks, and hybrid details are in brackets.

Heliamphora: Sun Pitcher Plants The high plateaus of Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela are home to the only pitcher plants of South America. These flat-topped mountains, known as tepuis, rise thousands of feet above the warm savannas and forests of the land below. The intense sunlight is tempered by extreme rainfall and cool mists. Frequent pounding rains wash away topsoil and the plants must anchor themselves in debris-filled rocky cracks and hollows. Daytime temperatures on the plateaus average between 8 to 20 Celsius (46 - 68 F) with nighttime lows of 5 - 10 C (40 - 50 F). In cultivation, simulating the tepuis environment can be challenging, due to the difficulty of simultaneously providing intense light, cool daytime temperatures and high humidity. Fortunately, Sun Pitchers have proven to be adaptable to less than optimum conditions and many growers are successfully cultivating the plants in terrariums or cool greenhouses. Live sphagnum moss or other long fibre mosses are suitable media. |
