Pitcher plants? Saw some on sale at local nursery, but not sure if they can be “revived”. Any general tips on care for a total newbie?

Yes! This one is a purple pitcher plant. Make sure to give it ample sunlight, near a windowsill preferred. Needs specific types of water, either distilled, reverse osmosis, or rainwater. And lastly, soil specifically for them!

Thanks! I’ll do some research and get ready. All of these plants make me think about “The Little Shop of Horrors”…#feedmeseymour

I saw your recommendation on another post and wrote it down to take a look when I feel like researching—my personal fave form of “productive procrastination”.
