Nursery Update Mar 2024 - Sarracenia Leucophylla

This video explores the species of Sarrracenia leucophylla. With Autumn or fall well and truly here the Leucohyplla plants at my nursery are peaking. The plants are literally producing their biggest pitchers of the growing season and this video highlights their beauty at this time of year. This species has to be the prettiest of all the North American pitcher plants. With its white colored pitchers you'd be forgiven to think that the pitchers were flowers. The pitchers are in fact leaves and very effective insect catchers at that. To give you an appreciation of the diversity amongst plants I go over some of the Leucophylla hybrids, cultivars and forms here at my nursery. I discuss care requirements for this plant.
I also go over a common pest that you may find on your plants called scale. In this video I explain how to identify scale and how to remove them. I also explain how you can make full use of scale by learning how to feed your plants with it.
So sit back and enjoy the species Leucophylla in all its full glory.
Happy growing to you all!

Nice cultivar!

Hello, that hybrid Leucophylla sarracenia is probably Skywhatcher. In Europe there is a very similar hybrid called Umlauftiana, they are almost the same with minimal differences in the veins.

Thanks so much for your info. Now I have something to work with .....hopefully I'll be able to place a tag with the plant. Cheers

I purchased two Sarracenia leucophylla from you last year. I divided one but kept the other whole - all placed in larger pots. All three are absolutely beautiful and thriving thanks to all your tips. You are right though - not dividing has seen the more vigorous growth. Cheers Jerry!

Hello Jerry, I was just wondering about rain water etc. could the water Collected from a clothes dryer condenser be alright ? Mine reads ooo ppm, just as rainwater reading.
Thank you for all your videos, they’re very informative.
