Calling all collectors
Description
- Both the winged form of Nepenthes Mirabilis and Ampullaria black miracle are very popular amongst nepenthes collectors across the globe. A gorgeous cross between these two species produces thin, semi-speckled leaves and bright red pitchers. These young plants are already showing so much promise. As these are seed originals, variability is to be expected
- We grow these plants in a warm, humid environment and is currently thriving in our terrarium. Both Nepenthes Mirabilis and N. Ampullaria prefer high humidity and a warm spot year round - care should be taken to provide lowland conditions, especially during cold winters
- Similar to other carnivorous plants, nepenthes grow in a special type of soil low in nutrients and instead collect their nitrogen in hanging, slippery vase-shaped cups that include its own digestive juice
- Tropical pitcher plants entice both flying and crawling insects with an intoxicating fragrance, bright colour and sweet nectar
- Whether you prefer starting off with a younger plant and watch it grow into full majestic glory over the years or jumping in with more munch, right from the get go, we've got you covered! Cultivo is all about choices and our plants are available in various sizes and options to suit your every want and need. Plants are measured across (Leafspan = leaf tip to leaf tip, without tendrils and pitchers) and are sold either bareroot or already potted in our deluxe carnivorous plant soil, ready for action during the upcoming growing season
- Winter dormancy:
- During the autumn and winter months, growth in tropical pitcher plants slows considerably and pitchers will die off
- Active growth in the form of new leaves and development of pitchers (sizes as indicated) are expected during spring and summer
