🌿 From My Personal Collection to Yours – Meet Sarracenia Maroon!
Sarracenia 'Maroon' first joined my collection from **Arafllora**, and let me tell you—it was love at first sight! This **stunning hybrid** is a cross between Sarracenia purpurea and Sarracenia rubra, giving it a **deep burgundy-red colour** that only intensifies in full sun. Unlike many other trumpet pitchers that go fully dormant, this beauty holds onto its pitchers well into winter, making it a **must-have for any carnivorous plant collection.**
Its **compact growth habit** means you get more pitchers per plant, and as a bonus, those pitchers last longer than most other Sarracenia. If you’re looking for a **bold, easy-to-grow, and truly eye-catching pitcher plant**, this is THE one!
🌟 Why This Plant is Special

Frequently Asked Question
Why do you use Pargo instead of PUDO?
We partner with Pargo because it forms part of our approved fragile-goods courier network. Parcels are stored indoors at local businesses, protected from heat, direct sunlight and the weather until collection. It's an excellent option if you're not home during the day or prefer collecting your parcel when it's convenient.
To protect every order and uphold our Arrive-Alive Guarantee, we use only Pargo and other approved delivery services trusted to transport fragile and temperature-sensitive plants safely.
- Just a quick heads-up: Since plants are natural products, you might notice some slight variations when unboxing your plants
- We do our best to make sure the plants you receive look like the ones in the photos, but keep in mind that seasons change and plants grow. Some leaves might age and die off, new ones might sprout and the plants may look a bit different over time
- Cultivo is a boutique-style store and 99% of what we sell are one-of-a-kind collector items, so you will receive the exact plant pictured. Some are once-off or limited releases, which means they are available only while stocks last. The labels are spot on, so even if the plant looks a bit different, we 100% guarantee it’s the real deal
- Also, all the photos you see are of our own plants unless we mention otherwise. We update images occasionally to keep things fresh. If you want to see updated pictures before you buy, just let us know - we’re happy to help!
