7.800 Ft
Jump to product information
Nepenthes is certainly one of the most admired carnivorous plants. These are the plants that match the stereotypical vision of what carnivorous plants are.
Height including pot: 30-40 cm
Pot diameter: 13 cm
Nepenthes grows very well in Sphagnum Peat with compost, fertilizers, and specific trace elements – a substrate you can find here: Nepenthes substrate.
IMPORTANT: Insectivorous / carnivorous plants pose no danger to people. Their digestive juice is at most a good hand disinfectant! Many come from the misty jungles of Southeast Asia, forming vines that climb trees, and their traps truly look like traps.
The trap of this plant is a sealed pitcher with slippery edges, very difficult for prey to climb. The mouth of the pitcher is decorated with a structure called the peristome. The peristome helps retain the prey and also guides the prey into the pitcher. The pitcher has a lid at the top. This helps keep rainwater inside the pitcher, but its main function is to attract prey due to its color and the presence of nectar. Prey hanging on the underside of the lid is at risk of falling into the trap.
Care instructions for Nepenthes
Humidity: AbundantLight: Partial shadeSoil type: A mix of equal parts peat, vermiculite, and sand. Nepenthes can fix its roots on tree bark, leading an epiphytic life.Fertilization: The plant generally withstands well without fertilization, especially if it has abundant food or is epiphytic. In the absence of these factors, it can be fertilized monthly in spring and summer and once every two months in winter with a liquid fertilizer intended for orchids.Propagation: Propagation can be done in spring and summer by air layering or, more simply, by taking cuttings of shoots. These are kept at high humidity and 20-23°C, in mini-greenhouses, for reliable rooting.Pests and diseases: The plant can be attacked by gray rot under conditions of excessive humidity of the air or substrate. Occasionally, as a consequence of poor conditions, scale insects or aphids may appear.Care: To properly develop and color the pitcher traps, they need constant and filtered light throughout the year. They are very sensitive to dry air. If the temperature exceeds 28°C, the plant requires misting. The substrate should be watered so that it remains permanently moist but without excess. Water must be removed from the saucer after each watering.
