- This is a specimen plant and you will receive the exact plant pictured - images of mature plants and pitchers are for display purposes only
- Similar to other carnivorous plants, nepenthes grow in a special type of soil low in nutrients and instead collect their nitrogen in hanging, slippery vase-shaped cups that include its own digestive juice
- Tropical pitcher plants entice both flying and crawling insects with an intoxicating fragrance, bright colour and sweet nectar
- Perfect for a sheltered spot outdoors or sunny windowsill with bright diffused light
- Whether you prefer starting off with a younger plant and watch it grow into full majestic glory over the years or jumping in with more munch, right from the get go, we've got you covered! Cultivo is all about choices and our plants are available in various sizes and options to suit your every want and need. Plants are measured across (Leafspan = leaf tip to leaf tip, without tendrils and pitchers) and are sold either bareroot or already potted in our deluxe carnivorous plant soil, ready for action during the upcoming growing season
- Winter dormancy:
- During the autumn and winter months, growth in tropical pitcher plants slows considerably and pitchers will die off
- Active growth in the form of new leaves and development of pitchers (sizes as indicated) are expected during spring and summer
