 Sarracenia, also known as trumpet pitchers, are ideal house plants and are easy to keep. They will help keep the flies down in your home as this is what they feed on and they do not require any other type of plant food. The pot must be permanently stood in a saucer of rain water – never tap water.
If it is not possible to collect rain water then bottled water will suffice. R.O. (reverse osmosis) water, used for keeping marine fish and corals, is a perfect alternative to rain water. Sarracenia don't like being kept in stagnant water so make sure it is refreshed regularly.
The trumpets start to die back over the winter and will go brown. Cut them down to the base and new trumpets will start to re-emerge in the spring.
