Tropical Pitcher Plant Nepenthes Gaya Carnivorous

This Pitcher Plant "Nepenthes x St. Gaya" is a hybrid of N. Khsiana x (ventricosa x maxima) and it is an easy to grow compact plant that has a large upright pitcher featuring cherry red specks and yellowish-green background. Gorgeous coloring.  This is an easy first Nepenthes plant. Will give beautiful oval openings and great at catching larger insects.

These plants thrive in humid environments and should only be watered with distilled or rainwater. They are sensitive to minerals, fluoride, and chlorine, which can cause yellowing or browning of their leaves. Additionally, avoid using regular soil, as it's too rich in nutrients for them. Instead, we offer Sphagnum Moss, which is the ideal medium for their growth. They prefer bright light. Fluorescent or other cool-temperature grow lights can be used for the indoor cultivation of smaller species. A terrarium of smaller carnivorous plants under such lights can make a great starter set-up.

Whether kept indoors or outdoors, there’s no need for regular feeding. They will naturally catch gnats or flies from the air, which provides them with the nourishment they need to stay healthy and vibrant.

This plant is in a 2-inch pot with leaves that can be 3-4 inches each. The hanging planter will come with a larger plant inside of it.

• Nursery Pot - Standard plastic 2 inch planter pot that can be placed inside a larger pot or left as is until it outgrows it.
