Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

The Sweet Hooded Pitcher Plant, Sarracenia minor × rubra, is also known botanically as Sarracenia × rehderi. It forms upright, slender pitchers topped by curved hoods, combining the distinctive hooded shape of S. minor with the rich red veins and colouring associated with S. rubra. Pale translucent patches may show around the hood, while pitchers often deepen from green to bronze or red in strong light. As a seed-raised hybrid, individual plants can vary attractively in colour and form. Mature plants may produce nodding, reddish flowers around Djilba (Early Spring). Grow it outdoors in plenty of direct sun, with light afternoon protection during Bunuru (Late Summer) if the position becomes intensely hot and dry. Use an acidic carnivorous-plant mix such as sphagnum peat with perlite or washed sand, never ordinary potting mix or fertiliser. Stand the pot in a shallow tray of rainwater, distilled water or reverse-osmosis water while actively growing, and never let the mix dry out. During its Makuru (Winter) dormancy, keep it moist rather than deeply flooded and remove dead pitchers as needed.

Height 25–45 cm

Width 20–40 cm per clump; broadens gradually through rhizome growth
