It has large, flat green leaves that trail down the side of the pot, and hanging from the leaves are the cherry red and cream pitchers that give this plant the wow factor in any room for the house. Not only does this plant add an unusual touch to the home, but it also helps to keep spiders and bugs out.

Pot Size: Grown in 3.5 inches plastic hanging pot Pot.
Note: Drying up of some pitchers in transit is very normal. The plant produces a pitcher in each new leaf.

Watering |
Keep the soil moist at all times, making sure that the excess water drains away freely and the plant is not left sitting in water for any length of time. Keep misting the plant occasionally, they love high humidity. |
|
Potting Mix |
A soil mix of peat, sand, perlite, orchid bark and chopped Sphagnum works well. Pure live sphagnum moss or “orchid mix” is a good soil alternative. |
|
Light |
Nepenthes generally like bright light without much direct sun. About 50% sun or dappled shade is good. Thin, spindly plants or poor coloration are a sign of too weak a light. |
Initial Care (After receiving the plant)
- Leave the plant in its nursery pot for a day. if the medium looks dry, water it and always make sure to keep the medium moist but not soggy.
- If the plant has been recently moved so the natural secretions drain out, fill each pitcher with about 1” of distilled water.
