Sarracenia × Farnhamii — Elegant carnivorous plant
🌞 Sun / Partial shade • 💧 Substrate always moist • 🪴 Easy care • 🪰 Graphic carnivorous plant
The Sarracenia × Farnhamii is a spectacular hybrid variety, resulting from the cross between Sarracenia leucophylla and Sarracenia purpurea. With its tall and slender pitchers, marbled with green, purple, and sometimes white, it brings rare elegance to any green space.
Delivered in Ø12 cm for an approximate height of 40 cm, this mature carnivorous plant captivates with its graphic form and ease of care. Ideal for lovers of original and fascinating plants.
Exposure & location
The Sarracenia × Farnhamii thrives in a bright and sunny environment, while tolerating partial shade. It can be placed outdoors on a balcony, terrace, or windowsill, but also indoors in very bright conditions.
- Exposure: direct sun or bright partial shade.
- Ideal: balcony, terrace, veranda, or south- or west-facing windowsill.
- Temperature: from 5 to 25 °C, tolerates coolness in winter.
- Substrate: blond peat and perlite, always moist and without fertilizer.
Verdeia tip: the more light it receives, the more its pitchers take on intense red and purple hues.
Watering & care
- Water: exclusively rainwater or demineralized water.
- Frequency: keep the substrate constantly moist, especially in summer.
- Saucer: keep 1 to 2 cm of water permanently at the base of the pot.
- Winter: slightly reduce water during the vegetative rest.
- Fertilizer: unnecessary, the plant feeds on insects.
- Pruning: remove dry pitchers to stimulate regrowth.
Place the pot on a tray with water to maintain constant humidity and prevent substrate drying.
Decor ideas & plant combinations
Its upright silhouette and colorful pitchers make it a strong piece for a bright corner of the house or a balcony table. The Sarracenia × Farnhamii matches well with both natural style and contemporary decoration.
- To combine with: Dionaea muscipula or Nepenthes Gaya for a mini carnivorous collection.
- Ideal pot: beige stoneware, matte ceramic, or decorative pot in light stone.
- Ambiance: perfect for an urban balcony or a bright indoor jungle.
Place it high or on a console to highlight the elegant verticality of its pitchers.
Verdeia tips
- Give it maximum natural light to enhance the coloration of its pitchers.
- Use only rainwater or demineralized water: lime is fatal to it.
- Never give fertilizer or artificial food.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
