GENERAL INFORMATION

• These plants get their name from their pitcher-shaped leaves.
• They capture insects by producing nectar along the rim of their pitchers.
• When an insect starts to lick up the nectar, it tries to get more by reaching in the pitcher.
• When it loses its footing, it falls right in!

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• Use a soil mixture of 1 part peat moss and 1 part perlite.
