Hi Friends,
I got this sarracenia but it was not tagged, I dont know what kind of sarracenia it is ? hybrid or some other
Can any any one help me wth it, I am sorry pics isnt so great and might not be able to clearify the species,
in case more pics need to be uploaded let me know i will try
thanks alot

from my view,its a S.Leucophylla but what makes me not confirm it is that usualy leucophylla top is whitter than this.

I agree with Harris. It looks like a S. leucophylla, but it could be some sort of hybrid.

Thanks even i think it could be a hybrid, it came in as a gift with other plants i bought.
well i am growing it by using tray method but after searching about S. leucophylla it says that it
doesnt like to sit in standing water since root may rot but soil should be kept wet, so should i remove the tray or it will be fine ?.
Thanks

Nearly all species of Sarracenia don't mind being in standing water. I think that S. minor is one exception, but most of them do well if left standing in water as long as it's below the rhizome.

No being drowned by water. Just keep it blow half way up the pot

Thanks,
I generally keep water half way up only or some times less, this is one of my first sarracenia so was little bit concerned about it,
thanks friends

Yeah it looks like a white topped pitcher plant with some aphids attacking the smaller pitcher and deforming them.

hmm i was wondering that why one of the smaller pitcher is looking wird like having red top etc,
so there are aphids, well then what should i do i have neem oil can i use that in any ways,
please help
thanks
