How to Grow Highland Nepenthes Pitcher Plants

Kate from California Carnivores gives you some basics of care on Highland Nepenthes (Highland Nepenthes that like daytime temps in the 70-90’s with a 10-20 degree drop in temperature at night).

Just got mine, its very beautiful thank you so much! I'm hoping to care for it for many years to come

Thanks for reminding me about the temps over 80°. I need to move my nepenthes to the back room until temps are below 90° here. 🌱

I currently grow my nepenthes in my house, which is 60-65 degrees most of the time. How will this affect them? They seem to be doing good.

Can you make a video on Ventricosa and Miranda? I just received my Ventricosa and will receive Miranda next week. I only cultivated Graciliflora which I found very easy, they survive my region’s winter sitting on the covered porch and even endured some days of 0°C or -1, -2°C, and it’s very humid, winter is very humid where I live. About 70% all day long and over 95% during night. However I’m not very sure about these ones. Currently have the Ventricosa sitting under very strong LED panel lights, however I’m noticing red/pink small spots. It currently doesn’t have any pitchers. I think the guy who sold me cut some off, cause I see it’s the cuts…

Is it the osmocote plus for indoor/outdoor? I have an order on the way already or I would just purchase from you.

Well this definitely helps me understand why my highlands aren't making pitchers my home is to warm. I've been more successful with the intermediate Nepenthes.

Can you guys do a video on how to care for nepenthes gaya? I just rescued 4 of them from my local garden centre and need to know how to take care of them!

They do fill there pitchers right? I have a Sarracenia purpurea so it gets confusing sometimes. 😂

I'm in Australia and I'm buying my first nepenthes later today it is a lousia from my understanding I'm just wondering what osmocote you are using for that trap and I live in a desert climate are there any special things I have to worry about we hit ridiculous highs and lows in temp I am prepared to move it in and out in the summer and winter we do have a little greenhouse but it would be the soul inhabitant when it's in there

Hi Kate, thanks for the video. I bought my Nepenthes from Etsy and it is planted in the dry moss, not in the soil. Do I need to re-pot in another medium? I do mist it every day and the moss is moist all the time. How do I know when to water it? Humidity in that area of my house is about 50-60% and it gets about 4 hours of the morning sun from the east window. Should I bring it outside? I live in SF Bay area and it can be pretty dry and hot in summer

[nutgoogle]

shall I put it under direct sunlight or outside in the shade?

[will-i-am-not]

Can not grow highland neps whete I live, its 32°, but the hills around my home are covered in Nep Philippinensis

[hibiki]

How long before they get those HUGE pitchers? My plant is tiny but has 6 or so small pitchers

[JK-edqf]

Can I use reverse osmosis water for them? And how much water tds range for the plant?

[DeadlyPlants]

From the information I’ve heard you should cut the vine because it takes the plant a lot of energy to vine, and You want the plant to spend that energy in producing pitchers. ??

[lemoneater]

hello is nepenthes lowii x Ventricosa highland or lowland and do you have any tips on growing them

[monke]

Is nepenthes spathulata x aristolochioides you sell on your website hard to grow? I would give it 60-80% humidity all the time, good light from my window and grow lights combined, and water 2-3 times a week

[thaisspaixaoo]

I thought you couldn’t fertilize carnivorous plants

[staticjordan]

Do you have an update on this exact plant

[jaisonwoodard]

Invest in a zero water pitcher filter ever remove every single thing from your local tapwater. Thank you.
