Nepenthes alata - Tropical Pitcher Plant
Sprouts of Bristol
Size
£36.00
Notes
- Likes moist to wet soil, but ensure good drainage
- Water from above - remove any water that drips through to the outer pot or saucer
- If re-potting, ensure the soil is poor in nutrients (that's what the bugs are for!)
- Likes warm conditions (lows of 18 °)
- A big fan of high humidity (60% or above is recommended)
- Place bright light - a bright windowsill would be ideal
- If placed indoors and there isn't an abundance of bugs for the plant to catch itself, it will need to be fed roughly every couple of weeks - crickets, mealworms or grasshoppers are some options that you should be able to get from a pet/reptile shop or online.
- Pet-safe
