Nepenthes rafflesiana
|
Pure or Hybrid: Pure
Type: Lowland - Grows below 3000 feet above
sea level. They experience hot days,
warm nights and continuous high
humidity!
Origin: Bau, Sarawak
Adult Pitcher: Between 6" and 12" 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 beautiful plant but is
quite variable. Colors can range
between green splotched with red or
purple to completely red, to cream
colored. The leaves are just as
variable in length from 2' to 5'
long.
