Pitcher Plant
Pitcher Plant is a two-block tall 1.20 flower grown from a Pitcher Pod on farmland — break the mature crop for one flower, renewable via the sniffer.
Description
Pitcher Plant grows exactly two blocks tall and must stand on grass blocks, dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, farmland, podzol, mycelium, moss blocks, mud, or muddy mangrove roots. Renewable status is Yes, because a Sniffer digs up Pitcher Pod seeds from ancient seeds found in the overworld, letting a single player farm the flower endlessly. Cyan Dye production is the one downstream use: one Pitcher Plant crafts into two Cyan Dye on the crafting grid, making the flower a steady dye ingredient for builders decorating with teal palettes. The cyan-green leaves and bulbous pitcher shape read clearly against oak or spruce, so garden builders pair Pitcher Plant with Torchflower for a 1.20 crop-garden centerpiece.

Guide
How to grow and obtain Pitcher Plant in Minecraft
-
1
Till farmland with a hoe
Use a hoe on a dirt or grass block beside water to create farmland, the only valid surface that accepts a Pitcher Pod seed.
-
2
Plant a Pitcher Pod
Right-click the tilled farmland with a Pitcher Pod, which Sniffers dig up from ancient seeds found by brushing Suspicious Sand or Suspicious Gravel.
-
3
Wait for full growth
Let the Pitcher Pod crop advance through its growth stages with enough light and time until the upper half shows the mature, two-block-tall Pitcher Plant form.
-
4
Break the mature crop
Break the upper half of the fully grown crop to drop exactly one Pitcher Plant, which can then be replanted-free as a decorative tall flower.
-
5
Place or store the flower
Place the Pitcher Plant on grass, dirt, farmland, podzol, mycelium, moss, mud, or muddy mangrove roots, or stack up to 64 in storage.
Bone Meal speeds up Pitcher Pod growth on farmland, but a Pitcher Plant placed as a decorative flower cannot be re-boned once it is already the two-block tall form.
