GENERAL INFORMATION

• Nepenthes, commonly known as the Hanging or Asian Pitcher Plants, doubtless are the most ostentatious carnivorous plants next to the Venus flytrap.
• Among the most flamboyant and colorful of all plants, they are also extremes in carnivory.
• For Nepenthes are the only plants in the world that can be said to somewhat regularly eat vertebrates in the wild.
• Small lizards, mice, and even rats have been found digesting in their orchid-like traps.

SOIL REQUIREMENT

• Use a mix of 1 part dried sphagnum moss and 1 part perlite.
• Avoid using potting soil and compost, as their nutrient and mineral ingredients can kill carnivorous plants.

• Avoid the full shade.

WATER REQUIREMENT

• Unlike other carnivorous plants, Nepenthes will tolerate hard water (up to 200 parts per million) with almost no adverse effect.
• Make sure the water drains through the soil completely, hefting the pot to make sure it's heavy and saturated.
