Celebrate the savage side of the botanical world with a little carnivorous plant preserved inside a glass display vial. These plants gain nutrition from devouring insects, which are lured by delicious smells to the pitcher's slippery rim, where they fall inside the pitcher to be consumed by the plant. A great addition to your cabinet of curiosities, these little vials are perfect for lovers of both botany and the macabre.
Each vial contains one tall and skinny pitcher from some variety of American pitcher plant, of the genus Sarracenia. Your purchase will be a single randomly selected vial, and the pitchers may vary in color and shape (see the product photos for a couple of examples of what you may receive.) Some pitchers may be a lovely green, others vivid red, some edged in white, and all from my own plants.
Please be aware that although I've used preservation methods that specifically help to keep the color, dried botanicals do typically fade eventually and may become more brittle over time. To keep them in their best condition, don't place them under sources of UV light (like sunlight or plant grow lights). Unfortunately because of import restrictions placed by most countries on the shipment of plant material, I don't ship these outside of the US.

Care Instructions
Dried botanicals
When plants are dried, they become very fragile and brittle. Please handle with care. Many of the display containers are not glued to their bases (to allow you to place your own little items inside or be able to clean the glass), so be sure to pick up these items by the base, not the dome. Keep the specimen out of sunlight; the UV light can cause the colors in your plants to fade. The colors in all dried botanicals will fade over time regardless, but too much light will accelerate the process.
Resin botanicals
If your plants are encased in resin, they're nicely protected from damage, but the resin itself can be vulnerable. Where possible, I use non-yellowing resins, but most resins will yellow at least a little bit with lots of sun exposure. Don't place your resin botanicals in sunlight or near other sources of UV like grow lights. (Obviously you can wear your resin-based jewelry outdoors! Just don't leave them sitting in sunlight when they're stored.) Please keep in mind that the colors of dried botanicals can fade, even when they're encased in resin, so the appearance of your piece might fade over the years.
