Trumpet pitcher plant Thomas (Sarracenia x Thomas) is a cultivar of the North-American carnivorous pitcher plants from the Sarracenia genus. Insects are attracted by the sugars formed in the pitchers and they will be trapped in the pitchers after which the hoods will ensure that the insects can’t escape anymore. Araflora thinks it is a big advantage of plants from the Sarracenia genus that they are all hardy plants to a more or lesser extent.

Trumpet pitcher plant x Thomas (Sarracenia x Thomas) loves sunlight and shortage of sunlight can weaken the plant, besides it can also handle heat.

It can sustain severe frost as long as it is covered with hay or when it is snowing, put a little extra snow on the plants. It is crucial for Sarracenia species that they never dry out and therefore they can be best kept on a bed of water.
