SFLguy Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Looks like a Purpurea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meizwang Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 That is the mass produced S. rosea clone that we nick-named "the lettuce clone" here in the US. It's been distributed throughout the globe, and grows much like a weed. In vitro, this clone mutated and gave rise to S. smurf. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North West Neps Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I would've said it was sarracenia purpurea, but i'm no expert mind. Try googling the full name Shoultsy, you'll find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFLguy Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hang on a minute,I looked google images and it came up with nothing like my plantIn regards to IDing a plant, I'd definitely trust Mike with what he says, look up sarracenia Rosea lettuce clone also the reason your plant is green is most likely because it's not getting enough sun, one it gets more sun (or more time in the sun if this is a new plant) then it will color up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoultsy11 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 It lives on a west facing windowsill. And it is a relatively new plant, I have had it for about 3 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFLguy Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 If you're in the northern hemisphere, north and west facing gives it the least amount of light, and North American pitchers usually like full sun, as in at least 6 hours of direct sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maciej Stelmach Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Isn't it pure S. purpurea ssp. venosa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFLguy Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Depending on what your preference is, it's either Sarracenia Purpurea ssp. Venosa var. Burkii or Sarracenia Rosea, some people refer to it as a species some, a variety, I personally call it Rosea (mostly because it's probably easier to label) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoultsy11 Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I would put it on a south but we have no south windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
