Sarracenia psittacina is found in the wetter parts of boggy areas in the coastal plain from southern Georgia and northern Florida to southern Mississippi. Quite often the plants can be found near the waterline. They may occasionally be submerged. This species produces its typical decumbent leaves leaves in the summer and fall. It produces a few upward angled leaves in the spring. The flowers are deep red.

Adult plants enjoy full sun outdoors. Sarracenia psittacina does not require seasons as extreme as other Sarracenia. Seedlings make excellent terrarium plants without winter dormancy for up to two years. You might be able to keep them in a terrarium indefinitely.

For producing seeds and growing seedlings, you may use the general guidelines for growing Sarracenia from seed. S. psittacina does well in either sphagnum or peat mixes. The plants should always be in short pots sitting in pure water when they are growing. They should be top-watered regularly to maintain the oxygen levels for the roots and to keep salt levels down in the soil.
