Once they’re sold, they’re truly gone. That’s why you won’t see a typical “email me when available” option on these listings
• Some seasonal items or small-batch variants may return in the future. If that happens, we’ll update the original listing with new photos and details

Growing notes

Nepenthes kitanglad originates from the highlands of Mt Kitanglad in Mindanao, Philippines. Although naturally a highland species, this particular plant has been acclimatised to intermediate conditions in our own collection and no dedicated highland setup is required.

Provide bright indirect light, good airflow and a free-draining Nepenthes mix. Warm days, cooler nights and consistent moisture will encourage steady growth and future pitcher production. It performs well in terrariums, grow tents, greenhouses and bright indoor growing areas.

An excellent choice for collectors looking to grow a genuine species with documented locality data and proven Wistuba provenance.
