Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa — Purple Pitcher Plant

Sarracenia purpurea ssp. venosa, often called the Purple Pitcher Plant, is one of the hardiest and most fascinating carnivorous plants you can grow. Native to North America, it forms low rosettes of chunky purple-green pitchers that fill with rainwater. Insects are lured inside, where they eventually break down and provide nutrients for the plant.

Unlike the tall trumpet-shaped Sarracenia species, this one stays compact and spreads slowly over time, forming a lovely clump. The pitchers often develop rich red tones in bright light, making it as ornamental as it is unusual.

Light
Full sun is best. Outdoors in a sunny spot is ideal, though a very bright windowsill can also work. The more light it receives, the deeper the colouration of the pitchers.

Watering
As a bog plant, it likes consistently wet soil. Sit the pot in a shallow tray of rainwater or distilled water and keep the soil moist at all times. Avoid tap water where possible, as minerals can build up in the soil.

Temperature
Very hardy and tolerant of cold temperatures. It’s well suited to outdoor bog planters and can handle UK winters if kept wet.

Potting
Carnivorous plants need nutrient-poor soil. Use a carnivorous mix or a plain sphagnum moss. Avoid standard houseplant compost and never fertilise.

Hot Tips
If grown outdoors, the pitchers will naturally fill with rainwater — which helps the plant digest its prey. Don’t empty them! This species also produces beautiful nodding burgundy flowers in spring when mature.

Pet Safety
Not considered toxic to pets, but the pitchers can be easily damaged if played with or chewed.

Game-Changer for Clean, Accurate Shelf Pin Holes!
This shelf pin jig absolutely delivered on everything I needed — the ease of use was fantastic right out of the box. Once I got the layout aligned, drilling was quick and precise. The accuracy is impressive, with clean, straight holes every time, and the included bits worked like a charm. The design is clever, compact, and durable — the aluminum plate feels premium and makes it easy to keep things straight. I love the versatility too; switching between 5mm and 1/4" bits was fast, and the guide holes are clearly labeled. The size is ideal for cabinets, bookcases, and even tighter spaces where a bulky jig wouldn’t fit. For anyone needing quick, repeatable shelf pin drilling, this jig speeds up the use and keeps your project moving fast without compromising quality. If you're doing any custom shelving or cabinet work, this is a must-have tool that saves time and eliminates guesswork.

Works well for DIY
Worked well for building bookshelf. Wish it maybe had som little pads on the back as some times it would slide a bit, but if I tightened it more it would dent the wood slightly. Overall very easy to use and worked well for its intended use.
