Nepenthes pilosa
|
Pure or Hybrid: Pure
Type: Highland - Grows between 3000 feet &
10,000 feet above sea level. They
experience warm days, cool nights
and continuous high humidity!
Adult Pitcher: Near 6" 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 drain into a tray. Water like this
when water is gone from the tray!
Comments: This species is named for the dense
indumentum of tawny hairs which cover
the leaves, stems, and pitchers. N.
pilosa grows epiphytically on moss-
laden trees. The lime-green pitchers
resemble N. stenophylla in shape but
have a distinctive hook-like
glandular crest at the base of the
lid.
Where I got it: Malesiana Tropicals
