Sarracenia Flava Rubricorpora, also known as the Red Tube Pitcher Plant, is a bold and striking carnivorous plant celebrated for its deep, rich red coloration. The tall, tubular pitchers are a vibrant crimson, sometimes darkening to a near burgundy hue, creating a dramatic contrast against their lime-green periphery near the base. The lid of the pitcher is broad and flared, often displaying a gradient of red to green, with faint veining adding to its intricate beauty. This stunning coloration intensifies with brighter light and cooler temperatures, making it a show-stopping centerpiece in any collection. Its upright form and glossy surface give it an elegant, almost sculptural appearance, evoking both strength and grace.

Add a touch of dramatic beauty to your carnivorous plant collection with Sarracenia Flava Rubricorpora, commonly known as the Red Tube Pitcher Plant. Grown from tissue culture, this small plant (approximately 2-5 cm) is ideal for collectors who appreciate bold and vibrant species. Native to the southeastern United States, particularly the Gulf Coast region, this stunning carnivorous plant is renowned for its tall, deep-red pitchers and ability to thrive in nutrient-poor, wetland environments.

Each tissue culture cup contains a young plant acclimating to non-sterile conditions. The included lid provides the high humidity necessary during its hardening phase.

Care Instructions:

• Humidity: Maintain high humidity (above 50%) using the cup lid or a humidity dome.
• Light: Requires bright, direct light or a grow light with 10,000–15,000 lux. The rich red coloration intensifies with brighter light.
• Water: Use only distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm days (20–30°C) and cooler nights (10–15°C).
• Soil: Plant in a carnivorous plant mix of peat moss and silica sand or perlite, free of added fertilizers.
• Feeding: Avoid fertilizing young plants; they will naturally catch insects as they grow.

Growing Parameters:

• Native Habitat: Southeastern United States, Gulf Coast wetlands.
• Growth Rate: Slow-growing during its acclimation and early stages.
• Mature Size: Pitchers can reach up to 80 cm tall in optimal conditions.
