Nepenthes sanguinea



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! Origin: West Malaysia Adult Pitcher: Near 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 drain into a tray. Water like this when water is gone from the tray! Comments: Gets is name becasue of the beautiful red coloration (sanguine) though green and spotted varieties also occur. The lower pitchers are quite ovoid while the upper ones are very tubular. This species is easily grown. Also tolerates warm temps too. Where I got it: From a friend in Florida.
