Boost Your Baby Plants' Growth with Our Fertilizer
We offer five Fuel Fertilizers specifically designed for any Wellspring Gardens plant you select. Our formulas include a balanced ratio of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), the three primary macronutrients that plants need to thrive. But that's not all.
Each Fuel formula also contains essential intermediate nutrients like calcium, magnesium, and sulfur, as well as a host of micronutrients. Together, these elements work to stimulate strong and healthy growth, helping your baby plant reach its full potential.
Moreover, plants also need carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which they naturally get from air and water. When combined with optimal sunlight and watering practices, your baby plants are set up for success.

She's beautiful! Looks very healthy with quite a bit of new growth (shown in photo). No damage to the plant, soil was moist and it was packaged well. Will purchase from this seller again.** The pot in the photos is mine as I repotted it before taking the photos. **

Though the plant is healthy it is WAYYYYYYYYYYY smaller than it should have been for $16.It's about an inch tall with 5 very small pitchers. I have ordered a lot of plants from here and usually they are great, slightly disappointed with this one.

I was into carnivorous plants a decade or two ago but I didn't do so well with them. Recently I started getting little moths in the room where I keep my pet birds (these are the type of moths that live in the *sealed* bags of bird seed) and I thought it would be fun to buy some more carnivorous plants and try again. I got a sundew, a Venus flytrap, and this pitcher plant.This arrived in excellent shape. It has been over a month now and I haven't managed to kill it. It has well over a dozen pitchers and there are more growing at the center (a few of the older ones are dying off, but it is not so unusual for a plant to shed older leaves and such, and the center of the plant looks quite healthy). None of the pitchers are drooping or wilted.I left this in the container in which it arrived. It is threatening to outgrow that container, though. If you repot, I would not disturb the roots, but instead just remove this from the pot with all the potting material and repot in a potting material of your choice (since I have not gotten to the repotting stage, I haven't investigated the best medium just yet). Don't ever use fertilizer and only water with distilled water (I buy 2.5 gallon dispensers from the supermarket and they last a long time). I did put the pot it came in, in a plastic plant saucer, and once a week I water with distilled water from a squeeze bottle until the bottom of the saucer is full. I keep a cool mist humidifier running near this.I also do have a little LED light shining on this. There are plenty of options available on Amazon. You may have to adjust the position of the light a little bit; what you want is for pitchers with pigment that look like the product image. It will take a few days to be able to tell if your light is at the right position.Since I am keeping this plant inside, every now and then I give it a blood worm (some sort of desiccated larva you can buy to feed betta fish, also available here on Amazon) by dropping one into one of the pitchers. This seems to be sufficient to supply nutrients -- remember, these guys are used to growing in poor soil!

This is an awesome plant. I love the form of the purpureas and the color of this particular plant. Very easy to care for. Definitely much less picky than Venus fly traps in regards to watering. I have it in peat/perlite mix in a 5.5" tall pot. I water it from the bottom using a tray. I do not keep water in the tray at all times but I do keep the soil quite wet. The plant has formed 2 new small size pitchers since I got it a month ago. I have it in our balcony and it gets 3-4 hours of direct sunlight supplemented by 16 hours of 2 x T5HO lights.The first photo shows the plant freshly unboxed when I received it Aug 18, 2016. It was potted in a very small plastic pot with pure long fiber sphagnum moss. When I re-potted it, I did not remove the sphagnum moss. I simply buried the entire thing in the peat/perlite mix. Pure long fiber sphagnum moss is my preferred media for my Venus fly traps. In the case of this purpurea though, I like the peat/perlite mix better. Purpureas like a much wetter soil than Venus fly traps. My experience with sphagnum moss that is constantly wet or moist at the top is it causes slimy green algae to form.The second photo shows the plant as it is today. It looks larger than the first photo but there really hasn't been much noticeable growth other than the 2 new pitchers.The title of the listing states 'Sylwia'. I am not sure if this is a cultivar name or what the Sylwia name is referring to. In plant cultivar naming, double quotations denotes unregistered cultivars while single quotations denotes registered cultivars. The name in the title is clearly in single quotations but Sylwia is not a registered cultivar.

My sarracenia came in in amazing condition and surprisingly mature for the container size. Definitely a five-star plant, however this one had scale. It wasn't very noticeable at first, till I went to repot it. I will have to keep an eye on it as I treat it.
