Nepenthes

The Tropical Pitcher Plants are can be found in the wilds of Malaysia, Borneo and Sumatra, among other exotic locations. Nepenthes form scrambling vines, and the tips of its leaves form tendrils, which may grow and inflate into functional pitfall pitchers. In most species, the leaves of young plants form juvenile ground pitchers, while the newer leaves of more established plants form adult pitchers, which may differ vastly in appearance to the ground pitchers, depending on the species.

Our pitcher plants are grown in intermediate conditions, and fall into two different categories: tissue-cultured plants and rooted cuttings.
