Leaves are waxy, light green and show a nice pink cast when grown in full sun. It is a vigorous grower of medium size and easy to grow. It has large carnivorous leaves in the warm, wet Summer, and only slightly smaller succulent leaves in the cool, dry Winter. It prefers damp, loose, alkaline soils, and partial shade with warm, wet Summers and cooler, dry Winters. It flowers through Summer with multiple pink flowers. It benefits from the addition of a small amount of pellet limestone added to the soil (1 teaspoon/4" pot). This is a wonderful house plant, doing well on window sills, plant carts and greenhouses.
