《翼状猪笼草

 

Nepenthes also called tropical pitcher plant or monkey cup. All the species are carnivorous plants that capture insects and other prey by means of modified pitcher-shape leaves that function as passive pitfall traps. The prey often attracted by nectar secreted from the underside of the trap’s lid and slip into a pool of liquid at the bottom and are unable to escape. The animals drown and are eventually digested by enzymes.

It is a medium size, robust growing carnivorous tropical pitcher plant with 8” green pitchers tinted red with speckles.

  • Change the water every 2-3 days.
  • Make sure you remove any leaves that are beneath the water line.

See flower prep & care section for more information.

Dried/Preserved Flower Care Tips

  • IMPORTANT: Dried flowers DO NOT NEED WATER.
  • Always display dried flowers indoors, to keep them protected from the elements.
  • Keep your dried flowers away from direct sunlight, areas of bright light and away from humidity.
  • Sprinkling water or perfume can cause damage
  • Avoid crushing, pressing or folding flower.
  • If the preserved flower is stained by the dust, you can clean the preserved flower with the blower blowing softly 20cm away from the flower.
  • Temperature changes should be avoided to prevent humidity which could affect your blossoms.

  • Light

    Thrives in bright but indirect light. Direct sunlight may cause the leaves and pitchers to burn, while too little light can prevent the pitchers from developing properly.

  • Soil

    Use a soil mix specifically designed for carnivorous plants. A good mixture includes sphagnum moss, perlite, and orchid bark.

  • Water Requirement

    Prefers consistently moist soil, but it should never be waterlogged.

  • Temperature

    Thrives in temperatures between 18°C to 29°C. Keep the plant away from cold windows or air conditioning vents.

  • Humidity

    High humidity (50-70%) is crucial for healthy pitcher development.

  • Fertilizer

    Gets its nutrients from the insects it traps. Fertilizing can damage the plant or even kill it. The plant will naturally catch small insects, but if grown indoors, you can feed it ants, flies, or small crickets every few weeks. Avoid overfeeding, as this can cause the pitchers to rot.

  • Caution

    Ensure that the plant has good air circulation to prevent fungal growth and rot, especially in high-humidity environments.
