Nepenthes hirsuta



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: Around 7" 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 species got its name because of the coarse hairs which cover the stem, undersides of the leaf, and tendrils. The pitchers are a dark green but in some varieties can be spotted with purple. Where I got it: Malesiana Tropicals
