Cephalotus follicularis
Cephalotus follicularis are Australian pitcher plants with amazing dumpy little pitchers. They come from a coastal area near Albany in South Western Australia. They like to be damp but not too soggy, so grow them on capillary matting or in a tray where you let the water evaporate before filling again so that the plants are not in soggy conditions continuously. Keep them in full sun, although they can cope with warm days they like cool nights.
Plants are supplied in 9 cm pots.

Sarracenia x ‘Mieke’
Sarracenia x Mieke is a cheeky looking plant , it almost smiles at you! as with all sarracenias it likes wet conditions in low nutrient medium. If you are in a hard water area you need to use rain water. If you keep it in the house or conservatory it will happily gobble up house flies all summer long, then it is best to put it out for a winter chill in an unheated greenhouse or shed and bring it back inside in February so that you can enjoy the beautiful flowers that come up before the pitchers. No need to feed these plants they get all the food they need from the insects they eat.

Sarracenia ‘ Jedi’
Sarracenia 'Jedi' has dark red pitchers that curve smoothly at the top to give it a neat tidy shape . As with all Sarracenias it likes a wet , acid, low nutrient medium to grow in. Full sun will be the perfect place for this chap , too much shade would make him weak and leggy. No need to feed him he'll catch all his own grub, if you keep him on a windowsill he'll keep your kitchen fly free!
