Description

The listing, Exotic Pitcher Plant - Carnivorous! has ended.

Perhaps the Pitcher plant is the most mysterious leaf in the whole wide universe. Nothing excites more awe and suspense than seeing a Pitcher Plant with your own eyes. With its deeply folded leaves, the cup-shaped plant stores up a sweet-smelling juice which lures an unsuspecting insect into its mouth. And when it is about to sip…an unfortunate thing happens.

Unable to climb back, this fallen insect flails helplessly in the fluid until it loses energy and submits to the overpowering force of its fate.

So what happens to the ill-fated insect?

Much like the animals, the pitcher plant “eats” the poor thing up. Now how can you NOT want to add this to your exotic plant collection?

In this auction you will receive 30+ pitcher plant seeds.
These seeds were purchased from a very reputable seed distributor I have used for 10+ years. Detailed germination and care instructions will be included. Folks - this is the LAST of my seed supply. This and more auctions I'm posting are the last of everything I have - so don't miss your chance!

Free shipping for Canada and US! Feel free to post any questions you may have.

**Please note** - I am a Canadian Shipper...I cross the border to send packages weekly, and with tracking when finances allow. Please allow this into consideration when bidding - it may take a few days to get your shipment in the mail. Thanks for understanding!

I was just reading up on them. Do you know which species this is? They listed five or six different kinds, but didn't show pics.

Thank-you!

Jan 16th, 2014 at 12:54:34 PM PST by

I see it needs to be in a pot but is it an indoor or outdoor plant?

Jan 18th, 2014 at 12:03:20 AM PST by

It can be treated like a tropical - indoors in winter and if well tolerated, outdoors in summer. Hope that helps!

Jan 18th, 2014 at 1:04:17 AM PST by

how big are the pitcher leaves and what are the dimensions of the entire plant? do they do well in open air indoors or do they do better in a moister type environment like a terrarium?

Jan 18th, 2014 at 2:52:08 PM PST by

Sorry, I don't have the dimensions of the pitchers or the plant, but they do enjoy life as a houseplant and would not need to be in a terrarium. Hope that helps!

Jan 18th, 2014 at 3:54:32 PM PST by

does it eat stink bugs?!

Jan 18th, 2014 at 3:31:44 PM PST by

I think it will consume any bugs that fall in.

Jan 18th, 2014 at 3:53:13 PM PST by
