Nepenthes

If there is more than one product available, then the images are only examples, the goods may vary in shape, color and size. If there is only one plant for sale, the pictures show the exact plant. 

Basic care of Nepenthes:

Watering

Irrigation may only be done with lime-free water. Rainwater, distilled water (e.g. from the hardware store) or osmosis water from a reverse osmosis system are suitable. The substrate and the plant should be kept moist but not wet. Spraying the leaves with water doesn't hurt, but it's not necessary either, since most Nepenthes need a high level of humidity in their environment for ideal growth. Since the jugs will no longer contain any digestive fluid after transport, existing jugs can also be filled with the water mentioned above. The plant won't be able to digest anything with this, but it will additionally moisten the plant.

Light

With the exception of a few species (such as N. truncata and possibly hybrids), prolonged exposure to direct sunlight will damage the leaves, resulting in sunburn. Therefore, a location that is not exposed to direct sun all day is recommended. Additional or even stand-alone lighting with LEDs or fluorescent tubes is also recommended.

Substrate

Nepenthes generally like their substrate moist, but also airy. Therefore, a mix of sphagnum moss, perlite, peat and coconut chips is recommended here.

Temperature

Pitcher plants are roughly divided into three different areas of origin, which provide an indication of the temperature requirements. Lowland plants are plants whose natural habitat is 0 ~ 1000m above sea level. These plants prefer warmer temperatures (approx. 20° - 30°). Intermediate plants, i.e. those that are classified between highland and lowland plants (1000m ~ 1500m) need slightly colder temperatures of approx. 27° - 15°. Upland plants from areas over 1500m need it a little colder, namely from approx. 24° - 10°. It should be noted that intermediate and highland plants in particular need a drop in temperature at night to grow healthily. However, this varies greatly among individual species. Hybrids (crosses of different species) usually grow well under intermediate conditions.

Despite the basic guidelines, research into keeping very special species is worthwhile.
