The Ultimate Nepenthes Care Guide - Beginner Setup

A Quick Setup For Your Nepenthes!

When you first receive your plant inspect it for pests and make sure the potting medium is good. Usually the pitchers loose their fluid, so make sure to add a little water to keep the plant well hydrated. Once it's settled it will produce it's own fluid and adding water won't be necessary. Mist the plant often to keep the humidity high. Make sure to keep your new plant out of strong light until it adapts to its new home. It's normal for pitchers and lower leaves to yellow and die, so keep your eye on the growth tip. It should be firm and green. As the new leaves start to form, you can gradually move it to brighter light and treat it like the rest.

Ah yes, the pink light definitely gives that natural jungle vibe

I have a giant Nepenthes the pot probably weighs 25 - 35 pounds it has several plants growing in it. I know I need to separate it but I’m not sure where to start. I don’t know what kind it is the pitchers are probably 10 inches, although they are a little smaller because of winter. I live in South Texas and my plant hangs in a tree all year. I’ve had the plant 3 or 4 years. Thanks for any help, Gloria

Can they be grown in a net bag filled with moss so you don't see plasic pots in the Terrarium?
