Nepenthes gracilis
|
Pure or Hybrid: Pure
Type: Lowland - Grows below 3000 feet above
sea level. They experience hot days,
warm nights and continuous high
humidity!
Origin: Sarawak, Borneo
Adult Pitcher: Upper pitchers: 4" to 6" tall.
Lower pitchers: 2" to 3" tall.
Lighting: Needs bright light, but not direct
sun light. If kept in a greenhouse,
it requires 50% shade cloth.
Watering: Water from above and allow the excess
to completely drain. Water daily in
this method. Does not like to be
kept in standing water!
Comments: This is a fine but beautiful plant
that is a large scrambler. It is
very easy to grow and usually require
constant pruning to trim back over-
growth. The normal color is green &
red pitchers but there is also a dark
form as pitchered below.
Where I got it: Malesiana Tropicals
