Nepenthes Miranda is a common cultivar and hybrid of Nepenthes Maxima x Northiana. The parent plants of this hybrid allow it to be one of the most vigorous Nepenthes plants available. Pitchers can grow to be over 1-foot in length as the plant ages and becomes an adult. While the plant is vigorous, it's also one of the easiest plants to grow and take care of -- especially amongst Nepenthes as it can adapt to practically any growing environment (no drops below 50F and no temperatures over 100F).

While this plant produces absolutely incredible pitchers and flowers like all other Nepenthes, it is often sterile and doesn't produce viable seeds (usually they are males).

These come pre-potted with peat moss in an 8" hanging basket.

Care Instructions

Light

Part sun or shaded sun (pool screens are great). Avoid afternoon sunlight to prevent sunburn. Can also sit on a sunny windowsill inside.

Water

  • Water as planting material starts to dry out on top. Nepenthes should be kept moist, but not wet.
  • Only use distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. Do not use purified water. Any water with > 50 PPM TDS will kill your plant over time. Filtered water is often not filtered enough for these plants.

Temperature

Our plants are generally lowland or intermediate. We recommend a 5-10F drop in temperatures minimum nightly. Plants should not be left outside in temperatures under 55F. Humidity should be 50%+.

Fertilizer

Fertilize in the evening every two weeks with a ¼ teaspoon of MaxSea 16-16-16 mixed with 1-gallon of water. Spray the leaves. You can also put Osmocote pellets (14-14-14) inside of a pitcher after it opens to provide food if kept indoors. If outdoors, they will get food naturally, though spraying with fertilizer will often help.
