A beautiful new Nepenthes hybrid, N. St Gaya is a cross between N. khasiana x (ventricosa x maxima). An extremely easy carnivorous plant to grow, this one will even tolerate houseplant conditions. Plants will be shipped potted and are already supporting several pitcher traps.

 

Nepenthes Care Guide:

Sunlight: Most Nepenthes species thrive in bright filtered light. Some can tolerate part direct sunlight in the weaker times of the day (morning or late afternoon).

Substrate: Tropical pitcher plants are best grown in a Sphagnum and perlite mix with a 3:1 ratio.

Watering: Nepenthes like other carnivorous plants thrive in clean water (distilled, rainwater, purified reverse-osmosis water). The substrate must always be moist, you can either water them daily or every few days depending on how long it takes the substrate to dry out. No tray of water should be used because these plants enjoy the extra oxygen on the roots.

Dormancy: Nepenthes are tropical plants so they don’t have a dormancy period, they grow all year long.

Temperature: Depending on the species or hybrid, Nepenthes are classified on three categories: highland, intermediate or lowland. N. St Gaya grows well either in lowland or highland conditions. The range of temperatures for these categories are:

Highland: 55F-75F

Intermediate: 65F-85F

Lowland: 75F - 95F

Humidity: These plants prefer humidity levels above 60%
