Mini Kokedama Trumpet Pitcher Plant
Bring a touch of the wild into your home with this Mini Kokedama featuring the striking Trumpet Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia). Native to the bogs and wetlands of the southeastern United States, this carnivorous beauty is as functional as it is artistic — each trumpet-shaped leaf forms a natural insect trap, helping the plant gather nutrients from its environment.
About the Plant:
Known for its sculptural red and green pitchers, the Sarracenia is celebrated for its ability to thrive in nutrient-poor soil by capturing insects. Its vivid colors and elegant form make it a natural showstopper — part sculpture, part living science experiment.
The Art of Kokedama:
Rooted in the Japanese tradition of moss ball planting, this living art piece replaces a traditional pot with a lush sphere of moss. Each kokedama is hand-wrapped to highlight the plant’s unique shape, creating a stunning fusion of Japanese design and American botanical wonder.
Care Instructions:
- Light: Bright, indirect light to full sun (more sun = deeper red tones).
- Water: Keep consistently moist — use distilled or rainwater only (tap water can harm). We recommend keeping your kokedama in a shallow dish with ½–1 inch of water at all times, as pitcher plants love “wet feet.”
- Feeding: The plant catches its own food! No fertilizer needed.
- Environment: Prefers high humidity and good air circulation. Can spend summers outdoors in partial sun.
Fun Fact:
Pitcher plants have evolved a natural “slippery slide” inside their trumpets — once an insect falls in, it can’t climb back out, and the plant slowly absorbs its nutrients. Nature’s most elegant trap!
