Care Instructions:

☀️ Light: Full sun to very bright light. Sarracenia thrive with at least 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily.

💧 Water: Keep soil consistently wet. Use only distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water. Never allow the soil to dry out.

💦 Humidity: Moderate to high humidity preferred, though many varieties adapt well outdoors.

🏡 Indoor/Outdoor: Best grown outdoors in full sun whenever possible. Can be grown indoors with strong supplemental grow lights.

🐾 Pet Safe: Yes. Generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.

Plant Parent Pro Tip:
Skip the plant food and tap water. Carnivorous plants are adapted to nutrient-poor environments and can actually be harmed by fertilizers and mineral-rich water. Think rainwater and sunshine, not Miracle-Gro. ☀️🪰🌿
