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.
