Wonderfully easy pitcher plant for beginners! This is a vigorous growing variety with lovely mottled pitchers. The pitchers have small wings while the color is mostly red with green, vertical markings. The mature pitchers are squat and slightly peanut shaped thanks to its N ventricosa parentage. The peristome is smooth and bright red. The leaves will also go red with higher light. This hybrid is made up of Nepenthes khasiana x (ventricosa x maxima). Adaptable to both lowland and intermediate conditions. Does well in a sunny window.


Nepenthes care: We primarily focus on Lowland/ Intermediate species/ varieties. These particular Nepenthes do well with bright, indirect sunlight. We grow ours under 50% shade cloth. You will know if they are receiving adequate light when the leaves take on an orange to red tint. If the leaves go deep red then the plant is getting too much sun. They must be kept moist at all times using de-chlorinated water preferably with a low TDS (rain water, RO or distilled works well). A night time drop in temperatures for most nepenthes but it only required for high-landers. They do best with daytime temperatures in the 70-80°F with a 10° drop at night. Do not allow the temperature to fall below 60°F though. They prefer a humidity of 60% or more. If you cannot achieve a high humidity, mist the plant as needed paying special attention to developing tendrils and pitchers. *If the insides of the pitchers are dry when you receive it, place about a tablespoon of distilled/rainwater in each one. It will prevent it from drying out until it starts producing again.

This beautiful plant arrived in perfect condition with 2 activated pitchers, and one pretty far along in its growth process. I have had the plant about 2 months and she is now on her 2nd new pitcher growth....nearing 4 active pitchers at once! These are such incredible plants to nurture and experience!

I received my plant a few weeks ago and it was in great condition! It had 2 larger pitchers on it, a baby pitcher just starting to form and a shoot. The baby pitcher and shoot have grown considerably since I received it. I am very happy with it!
