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
