Identifying Your Carnivorous Plants: Nepenthes and Sarracenia

Nepenthes

Sarracenia plant

Sarracenia

Nepenthes: Likely Nepenthes ventricosa × alata (often sold as "Ventrata" or deRoose's Alata). A vigorous, easy hybrid from DeRoose Plants in the Netherlands—common in the trade. Tolerates a wide range of conditions.

Sarracenia: Appears to be Sarracenia rosea (formerly S. purpurea venosa var. burkii). A Gulf Coast species with stout, fuzzy, ground-hugging pitchers. Keep water in the pitchers to aid prey capture.

Both are excellent starter plants. Provide bright light, pure water (RO, distilled, or rain), and appropriate dormancy for the Sarracenia.
