- Growing Difficulty
- Intermediate
- Lifespan
- 10+ years
- Size
- 30-60cm
- Watering
- Insects (auto-capture)
- Light & Placement
- Full sun is essential. Grown outdoors in full sun the winged pitchers stand firm, and reddish forms color up well.
- Watering
- Tray-water to keep it constantly moist, using pure or rain water. Minerals in tap water build up and weaken the plant.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use pure sphagnum or peat moss with perlite. Do not fertilize; divide and repot when the rhizomes become crowded.
- Dormancy Care
- Winter dormancy is essential. Expose it to outdoor cold; the top dies back but the rhizome survives, so do not throw it out.
- Pruning & Shaping
- Reaches about 30-60 cm. Cut dead pitchers and old leaves off at the base after dormancy so light reaches the new growth.
