Nepenthes ceciliae BE 3956

This is a very pretty little species. When juvenile, the leaves are often bright red and the upper pitcher has a striking yellow coloration. Noted to be an easy grower.

First introduced Oct 2018 by Borneo Exotics. This item was supplied to Borneo Exotics by a third party and they cannot verify for certain yet whether or not it is true. However, they cannot see any evidence that it’s not the true species.

Random selection from very many clones out of microprop. Plants are medium in size, in 4 inch pots with long fiber sphagnum moss and perlite.

Note: the medium plants in October 2022 are the size of larges :)

Description

Nepenthes ceciliae BE 3956

Climate: Highland

Tropical Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes sp.) Care

Best to use only pure water – rainwater, distilled water or RO water. Be careful of bottled water as some contain salt which will kill your Tropical Pitcher plant
Keep a small amount of pure water in each trap. Mist plants regularly.
Keep soil moist; but well drained at all times. Do Not let your Nepenthes sit in water
Nepenthes like partial sunny location. They grow well on windowsills or under fluorescent lights in a terrarium.
Soil is mixture 3 parts long fiber sphagnum with 1 part perlite or 1 part fine orchid bark.
Fertilize Nepenthes with foliar fertilizer. ¼ tsp of Maxsea per gallon of water, 2 times a month
Nepenthes like to grow warm: above 50 degrees. Ideal is 65 to 80 degrees with high humidity.

Note: Pitchers will change in color and shape as they mature. Often there are also several different clones in our mix, so the pitchers may vary slightly for this reason as well.
