Nepenthes Alata - A spectacular carnivorous plant!

Nepenthes is certainly one of the most admired carnivorous plants. These are the plants that match the stereotypical vision of what carnivorous plants are.

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 coloration and the presence of nectar. Prey hanging on the underside of the lid is at risk of falling into the trap.

Height including pot: 30 cm
Pot diameter: 14/15 cm

Note: The cups of this plant are delicate and may show defects/damage due to temperature and humidity variations.
