Judith Hindle Live Carnivorous Pitcher Plant - Sarracenia - Wellspring Gardens Starter Plant

The plant arrived looking similar to the picture (smaller and not as bright and perky or healthy). It's small but had many pitchers (~5). I left it in the container and watered it with rain water or distilled water only. I used plenty of water, as others suggested. I gave it medium lighting. It didn't take long for the pitchers to start dying, which seems typical.I have another different type of pitcher plant that I feared may be dying when I first got it but quickly began showing signs of new growth, and while it lost its original pitchers, within a few months had many new tiny ones growing on big new leaves. So far, this plant is not showing signs of new growth and the pitchers have all died. I slowly clipped most off as they began shriveling (to save plant energy for new growth), but I fear it is too late. I have no idea if this is my fault or if the plant was already doing bad after it arrived. If it was too much water, or not enough light (or too much light). If I should have repotted it, or not cut off the dying pitchers. Either way, it is disappointing since I was able to get a different pitcher plant to survive with the same methods (albeit a different type and from a different seller).No matter the reason, be wary. This may not be so simple to grow. If for some reason I can salvage the plant, I will update this with how. Otherwise, it is safe to assume that I failed.

Came well packaged and arrived healthy. If you follow provided care instructions it will do well anywhere in the US. Hoping to buy more from this seller.

Plan not a robust as picture, all the pitchers are half dead

I have it with all my other carnivorous plants so the conditions are right. If it survives I’ll update this but I was kind of disappointed. It was really small and all of the pitchers where turning brown at the tips when I got it.

Absolutely wonderful. Perfectly as described. People who are unhappy with their purchased “based on the pictures” need to learn to read descriptions. What was ordered, as described, is exactly what was sent. There was some minor damage to one or two buckets from shipping, but that’s typical & not the sellers fault. It was packaged wonderfully & clearly with care… would buy from them again, & likely will. 😁

Was slow to grow after repotting. But took off after a month.

My carnivorous plants are outside and doing well!

Completely brown and dead when it arrived.
