Nepenthes Mirabilis Winged Tendril • Tropical Pitcher Plant

• At Cultivo, every release is carefully selected and grown with purpose. We don’t mass restock - most plants are small-batch, seasonal or one-of-a-kind “exact plant pictured” pieces. 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
• 🔔 For updates on new and rare arrivals, keep an eye on our New Arrivals Collection or join our VIP list above.

Calling all collectors 

Description 

• The winged tendril form of nepenthes Mirabilis is a very popular variety amongst nepenthes collectors across the globe
• We grow these plants in a warm, humid environment and is currently thriving in our terrarium.  Nepenthes Mirabilis prefers high humidity and a warm spot year round - care should be taken to provide lowland conditions, especially during cold winters

• 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

• 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
• Should you be unfamiliar with this plant species, head over to our FAQ section for more information on what to expect when ordering from us during the colder months >> Carnivorous plants and winter dormancy:  What to expect

Potted vs Bareroot

Sizes

• In Nepenthes world, the shape and colours of pitchers and leaves are determined by the characteristics of the various species
• Pitcher sizes are also highly variable across species and may not be present at the time of shipment, therefor we measure the actual size of the plant to determine the size of the plants we offer
• Tropical pitcher plants are measured across the leafspan (from leaf tip to leaf tip of the largest two leaves, not including the tendrils and pitchers) as seen in the image below

Care

• Special considerations and growing conditions:
• Grown as an intermediate lowlander, this plant is recommended for the carnivorous plant enthusiast ready for the next level
• Nepenthes Mirabilis will enjoy a little more humidity with average temperatures between 18-32°C, especially during winter time
