Plants You Receive
• Established division from select mother plants.
• Acclimated for bright sunlight and average home humidity.
• Medium plants are shipped in 4-inch pots.
• Meticulously packaged for safe shipping.
First photo is representative of the mother plant from which divisions were taken. Last photo is the exact plant for sale.
For all divisions, we wait until there is at least one new open pitcher on a plant before offering it for sale. This can take up to 6 months. To prep plants for sale, we cut off all pitchers that have significantly discolored during the acclimation process, so a plant might have fewer pitchers than normal. Some order leaves left on a plant may still be mildly discolored. This is a normal process as they age. Plants will develop a full set of pitchers within another 6-12 months.
