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.

BWG is hands down my favorite place to order tropical pitcher plants from. Every plant I’ve ever received from them has shipped fast and arrived healthy. I’ve been repeatedly delighted with the size of each Nepenthes – I’ve encountered no other carnivore shop that can match BWG for value when it comes to how large each plant is for the price. My brand new N. hamata x veitchii is no exception. The plant arrived with three pitchers bigger than my thumbs. Each pitcher is gorgeously toothy with some very nice contrasting coloration. The largest of the three is showing off some nice peristome striping as well. It’s a truly delightful combo, a striped toothy peristome. I love it. Spectacular plant, as usual. Any carnivore lovers that haven’t tried Bergen are totally missing out.

Great plant and great service. Fast shipping and one of the largest plants now in my collection! When I received my plant it was wrapped perfectly and there were about 5 toothy pitchers on it! I have had the plant for a month or two and it has already grown new pitchers! My first order from Bergen Water Gardens will not be my last!
