PR Live plant. Trumpet Pitcher 'Maroon' (Medium)

Pitchers are striking carnivorous plants that produces elongated, tubular “pitchers” with vibrant colors and patterned markings that attract and trap insects. Its climbing, vining growth and exotic appearance make it a dramatic focal point in humid terrariums.

Care Guide:

• Prefers bright, indirect light; filtered sunlight or grow lights work best.
• Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves and pitchers.
• Keep the soil consistently moist but well-draining; use a mix suitable for carnivorous plants (e.g., sphagnum moss with perlite or orchid bark).
• Use distilled, rain, or reverse-osmosis water only—tap water can harm the plant due to minerals.
• Thrives in high humidity (60–90%) and good airflow to prevent mold.
• Ideal temperature: 20–30°C for lowland varieties; cooler for highland types (15–25°C at night).
• Avoid cold drafts, dry air, or sudden temperature changes.
• Provide vertical space or supports for climbing vines; pitchers form along mature leaves.

Common Issues

• Pitchers not forming: Often due to insufficient light, low humidity, or immature plant.
• Yellowing or wilting leaves: Can be caused by overwatering, low humidity, or poor water quality.
• Brown or shriveled pitchers: Low humidity or direct sun exposure.
• Leggy growth: Light is too low or plant lacks vertical support.
