Nepenthes Tropical Pitcher Plant

Nepenthes are a type of carnivorous plant with a wide distribution throughout Southeast Asia, with the greatest biodiversity found in Borneo, Sumatra, and the Philippines. These plants require wet, nutrient-poor soils, and they grow best with periods of direct sunlight each day. Do not let them get too hot, especially if they do not have enough water. Their pitchers extend down from their leaf tips, filling with a liquid that will digest any insects that find their way into them. The ones I have here are regularly filled with house flies, fruit flies, gnats, and ladybugs. With our carnivorous plants, it is recommended you water them with distilled water, but we have had great success with water up to 100 TDS, which we achieve by mixing in some of our well water.
