Nepenthes Alata - O planta carnivora spectaculoasa!

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

Nepenthes grows very well in Sphagnum Peat with compost, fertilizers and specific microelements - substrate that you can find here: Nepenthes substrate.
IMPORTANT: Insectivorous/carnivorous plants do not pose any danger to humans. Their digestive juice is at most a good hand sanitizer! Many come from the misty jungles of Southeast Asia, forming tree-climbing herds, and their traps really do look like traps.
The trap of this plant is a tight pitcher with slippery edges, very difficult for prey to climb. The mouth of the pitcher is adorned with a structure called a peristome. The peristome helps to retain prey, and also directs prey into the pitcher. The pitcher has a lid on top. This helps to keep rainwater in the pitcher, but its main function is to attract prey due to its color and the presence of nectar. Prey that hangs on the underside of the lid is in danger of falling into the trap.

Height with pot included: 30 cm
Pot diameter: 14/15 cm

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