Sarracenia oreophila
The Green Pitcherplant (Sarracenia oreophila) is an elegantly unusual carnivorous plant native to the southeastern United States. It is a low-growing plant with green-tinged, upturned cups for “pitchers” that form low-level rosettes. Insects are lured in by the sweet aroma of nectar from the pitcher’s rim and if they are unable to escape the slippery inner walls of the pitcher, they are eventually digested by the plant’s digestive enzymes. Unlike other pitcher plant species, the Green Pitcherplant can also photosynthesize in addition to catching prey. This unique species also produces bright yellow flower spikes that can reach up to 30 centimeters in height.

watering
For green pitcherplants (Sarracenia oreophila), water 1-2 times per week. The pitcherplant enjoys a moist soil, so make sure the soil doesn't dry out completely. Water thoroughly and make sure excess water is draining out of the pot. In warmer months, make sure to water more often as the plant will dry out faster. Pitcher plants love moist environments, so you can spray a little mist as additional provision of water.
sunlight
The green pitcherplant requires full sunlight for optimal growth. In spring and summer months, it can tolerate up to 10 hours of direct sunlight daily. In the fall and winter months, it should receive at least 6 hours of direct light each day. Avoid placing the plant in direct afternoon sunlight, as this can lead to sunburn.
