Leucophylla | Trumpet Pitcher Plant | Fly Catcher

An unusual plant with a bite. This carnivorous Trumpet Pitcher Plant adds a real sense of the wild to your home with strange erupting trumpets of green and red hues. A brilliant bog plant with jungle vibes and a bold look. Perfect for a windowsill, bright bathroom or kitchen. A useful plant that helps to keep the amount of flies under control whilst making a stunning statement with a feature plant! These - as with other carnivorous varieties - are regenerative so grow new trumpets once older ones have been 'spent', with this fascainating process occuring towards the end of every season and usually taking between 10 - 30 days.

At Houseplant.co.uk, we're proud to offer a fascinating selection of British-grown carnivorous plants that are perfectly suited to our climate. Our collection includes native species like Drosera (sundew) and hardy varieties such as Sarracenia (pitcher plant) Our Venus flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) and Cape sundews (Drosera capensis) are excellent choices for beginners, offering both beauty and entertainment as they catch their prey. For optimal growth, ensure they receive full sun, use rainwater for watering, and maintain a well-draining acidic soil mix. Please note decorative pots are sold separately.

Did you know that many carnivorous species can be grown outside in the UK? This variety copes well in UK coastal and mild areas provided temperatures don't dip below -10°C.
