General Care:

A native plant to the Philippines, Nepenthes alata is known for its colorful leaves and large pitchers. It is a beautiful carnivorous plant and also happens to be one of the easiest to grow. We advise a temperature range of 65-80F, high humidity, and a loose sphagnum moss, low nutrient soil mix for best results.  This plant will take small insects as a food source in the pitchers.
