Nepenthes (Tropical Pitcher Plant)
Nepenthes, commonly known as Tropical Pitcher Plants, are fascinating carnivorous plants prized for their hanging, pitcher-shaped traps that naturally catch insects. These colorful pitchers come in shades of green, red, burgundy, and speckled patterns, giving the plant an exotic, almost otherworldly look. Dramatic and functional, Nepenthes are both a striking display plant and a natural way to help manage small flying pests.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; some gentle direct morning sun is fine
💧 Water: Keep soil consistently moist; use distilled, rain, or RO water only
🌫 Humidity: Prefers high humidity for healthy pitcher development
❄️ Temperature: Thrives in warm indoor temps (65–85°F)
🐾 Pet Friendly: No

Fun Fact:
Nepenthes don’t need to be “fed” by hand—most do just fine catching their own insects. Pitchers can last for months, slowly digesting prey and supplying nutrients to the plant. 🪴
