ProRep Live plant. Seersucker Plant Large

This rare and unusual plant does well in low/moderate light and high humidity. Avoid waterlogging and bright hot lights.

General Information: The Seersucker Plant, also known as Sarracenia, is a carnivorous plant that thrives in humid environments. It is important to avoid tap water when watering this plant to prevent damage to its delicate pitchers.

Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants that grow in bog conditions where they trap insects using their upright tubular leaves. Keep constantly damp and if grown in a pot then they need to stand in a dish of about 1cm of water all the time. They must have very bright light and do well on a sunny windowsill. They will not tolerate hard water and should be watered with rainwater or soft water. . Keep cool in winter.

Apart from the aesthetic appeal of a planted terrarium there are some very real, tangible benefits for the animals. Living plants provide natural cover and climbing perches, shade, basking sites and maintain natural humidity. Just as live plants in an office can improve workers well-being, live plants in a terrarium will have the same effect for animals.
