- Soil is mixture 3 parts long fiber sphagnum with 1 part perlite or 1 part fine orchid bark.

- 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.
