Sarracenia x Juthatip Soper (XL) is a hybride species of the North-American carnivorous pitcher plants of the Sarracenia genus. The pitchers have got a beautiful red whitish colour pattern and they have got ruffled hoods, that they got from Sarracenia Leucophylla. Sarracenia x Juthatip Soper (XL) even won the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Award of Merit in 1998, because of it’s appearance. Insects are being caught in the pitchers because they are attracted by the sugar producing glands within the pitchers, after which the hoods ensure that they can’t escape anymore. Araflora thinks it is a great advantage of the Sarracenia species that they are hardy plants to a more or lesser extent.

Sarracenia x Juthatip Soper (XL) can be kept around a pond or in a vegetable garden, while it’s a hardy plant. When the plants are covered by hay or when it is snowing, put some snow on them in this way the plant can sustain severe frost periods. Sarracenia x Juthatip Soper (XL) loves sunlight and it can also cope with heat. For Sarracenia species it is of utmost importance that they never dry out. Sarracenia x Juthatip Soper (XL) can therefore be kept on a bed of water. While tap water mostly has a high calcium content which Sarracenia species don’t like it is advised to use rainwater instead. Sarracenia x Juthatip Soper (XL) requires a nutrient poor soil, Araflora therefore uses a mix of peat, sand and perlite. Leaves that have turned brown might be cut off since they serve no function any longer.
