Nepenthes Alata (Pitcher Plant) 6" is a fascinating carnivorous plant, known for its tube-shaped pitchers that trap and digest insects. It’s a unique plant that not only adds an exotic look to your space but also helps control pests naturally.
Care Tips:
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use distilled or rainwater, as they are sensitive to chemicals in tap water.
Humidity: High humidity (60-80%) is essential for healthy pitcher development. Mist regularly or use a humidifier.
Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Keep away from cold drafts.
Soil: Use a well-draining, low-nutrient mix, such as a blend of sphagnum moss and perlite.
Feeding: They get nutrients from capturing insects, but you can occasionally feed them small bugs if indoors.
