Nepenthes x St. Gaya (Pitcher Plant)

This very impressive Nepenthes x St. Gaya, also known as the pitcher plant, delights especially enthusiasts of exotic plants. It looks very decorative and primarily feeds on insects. However, it is not sold as an insecticide and will not eliminate all insects in a room. Just to avoid any false expectations. It is mainly purchased for its ornamental value. The Nepenthes x St. Gaya can reach a size of about 40 cm. It must be kept moist year-round and additionally sprayed with low-calcium water. It requires a bright location without direct sunlight. With good care, you will be rewarded with pitchers up to 15 cm in size. The pitchers are emptied before transport. They need to be refilled with calcium-free water after unpacking, we recommend filling them one-third to halfway.
