Mystery Sarracenia Identified: Likely 'Scarlet Belle' or psittacina × leucophylla Hybrid

Mystery Sarracenia
Mystery Sarracenia

Identification

Without mature pitchers it's tricky, but this is almost certainly a S. psittacina hybrid — very likely the cultivar 'Scarlet Belle' or the species hybrid S. × wrigleyana (psittacina × leucophylla). The curved, decumbent pitchers with white areoles are characteristic.

That Weird Curved Leaf

It grew in low light and may have had aphid damage. Cut it off — it provides little benefit now.

Growth Habit

This hybrid stays compact — usually 12 inches or less — but forms beautiful, dense clumps over time. Reference photos here.

Care

Your conditions (full sun, distilled water, 1:1 peat:perlite, water tray) are perfect. Keep the tray filled ~1 inch deep.
