Cephalotus follicularis “Hampshire Red”

Yes, we photograph the specific plant you will receive, so you can see the exact size and coloration of the pitchers before purchase.

You must use distilled water, reverse osmosis water, or rainwater. Tap water contains minerals that can quickly damage the plant's root system and lead to decline.

While it enjoys bright, indirect light, a standard windowsill may not provide enough intensity or the right humidity. This cultivar thrives best in a terrarium or a controlled environment where you can maintain high humidity and consistent light levels.

Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Because the plant is shipped in a well-draining peat and perlite mix, ensure the medium stays damp to the touch without sitting in standing water for extended periods.

Cephalotus follicularis is considered a more advanced carnivorous plant. It requires specific attention to humidity and water quality, making it better suited for growers who have some experience with sensitive botanical species.

The deep red coloration is a result of the light intensity the plant receives. With proper bright, indirect light, you can maintain the vibrant red hues, though coloration may fluctuate slightly based on seasonal light changes.
