Tropical Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes) for Beginners

The exotic Tropical Pitcher Plant is a fascinating addition to any collection, known for its hanging, pitcher-shaped traps that lure, trap, and digest insects. With their distinctive appearance and unique feeding method, these plants are a must-have for any plant enthusiast. They thrive in tropical environments and are great companions for houseplant lovers and orchid growers.  They're also excellent for terrariums and carnivorous plant paludariums

The Tropical Pitcher Plants in our ‘for beginners' range are at least 3 years old (5-7cm) and available in two sizes, already potted in our deluxe carnivorous plant soil mix for nepenthes

These plants slow their growth during the colder months but do not go fully dormant in winter. While their foliage remains, the summer pitchers die off. Dead or dying pitchers will be removed prior to shipping. New pitchers will develop on new leaves when the plants begin growing actively again in springtime
