Sarracenia ‘Juthatip Soper’ is a hot pink hybrid, S. x mitchelliana, with gorgeous red and pink traps. The traps are upright and of medium height. They are somewhat green at the base, but broad red and purple veins, and pink areoles (windows) dominate the tubes, giving the full trap an exciting, brightly colorful appearance. The hoods are broad and ruffled and the lip is thick and deep red. As cold weather approaches, the traps turn a suffused deep red or maroon. They grow divisions regularly, and form large full colonies. As with other S. leucophylla hybrids, it has a nice show of Spring pitchers, but a great show of vigorous Fall pitchers. S. ‘Juthatip Soper’ prefers open, sunny, boggy conditions, and holds its color into the frost. The dark red flowers are fragrant, and bloom early in the Spring before new traps are fully emerged. This is an outstanding accent plant for the bog garden, and is very showy in large numbers. It is well-suited for the backyard bog garden north into Canada with winter protection. This hybrid is an ICPS registered hybrid by Hants Flytrap in the United Kingdom.

Sarracenia pitcher plants can be grown successfully in captivity with the right care and conditions. Here are the general steps for growing Sarracenia pitcher plants in captivity:
-
Choose the right container: Sarracenia plants need to be grown in containers that are at least 8 inches deep and have good drainage. Plastic or ceramic pots with drainage holes are suitable.
-
Use the right soil: Sarracenia plants prefer a soil that is a mixture of peat moss and perlite. You can also add sand or vermiculite to improve drainage.
-
Provide the right amount of light: Sarracenia plants need plenty of bright, direct sunlight to thrive. A south-facing window or a well-lit outdoor location is ideal.
-
Water properly: Sarracenia plants need to be kept moist, but they do not like to be waterlogged. Water them regularly, and make sure the soil is never allowed to dry out completely.
-
Provide humidity: Sarracenia plants prefer a humid environment. You can provide humidity by placing a tray of water near the plants or by using a humidifier.
-
Fertilize sparingly: Sarracenia plants do not require much fertilizer, and too much can actually harm them. Use a fertilizer that is formulated for carnivorous plants, and apply it sparingly.
-
Watch for pests: Sarracenia plants can be susceptible to pests such as aphids and spider mites. Check the plants regularly for signs of infestation, and treat them promptly if necessary.
By following these steps, you can grow healthy and thriving Sarracenia pitcher plants in captivity.
