Description

'Bug Bat' is a medium-tall variety of pitcher plant, and has beautifully rounded red-topped pitchers with LOTS of contrasting spots, which cause the pitchers of this plant to look very much like those of Sarracenia minor...one of our favorite species plants. When grown in bright light, the tops of the pitchers turn deep red, and they produce deep red flowers in the spring...fantastic! Just water and enjoy! Grow these carnivorous plants in full sun, with a minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight for vigorous growth. Keep the pot in standing water to keep the soil wet at all times. Use mineral-free water for best results. If growing your carnivorous plants in a pond, keep the water level halfway on the pot. Avoid drowning the crown of the plant. Requires nutrient-free soil that provides good drainage. A mixture of 50% peat moss and 50% perlite is sufficient. Never use potting soil. Potting soil will kill your carnivorous plants. Repot yearly to refreshen the soil and to aerate the roots. Do this in February through March, right before they come out of dormancy. Avoid repotting during the growing season. A sunny window is best with cool winter temperatures.
