Got this lil guy at a plant giveaway with just the one bitty pitcher, now working on 3 new pitchers! So proud c:

    I saw the water level. Don’t. Contrary to other carnivorous plants, Nepentes dislike having wet feet constantly.

    They grow more similar to orchids. Airy, hydrated, but not soggy or waterlogged soil with enough drainage and air.

    They even enjoy a super small dose of fertilizer once in a while to encourage foliar growth, but they’ll stop growing pitchers doing that.

    Also keep the pitchers away from the ground, or they’ll rot.

      Günni, Is there any plant out there on God’s green earth that you don’t know about? :)
