Tropical pitcher plant 'Nepenthes albo-marginata' 'Kuching spotted'

Nepenthes albomarginata can grow to a height of several metres if it given the opportunity to do so, otherwise it will remain at a low level. When the plant is in bloom – theoretically at any time of year – it produces clusters of yellowish brown flowers. Nepthenes albomarginata is a botanical species, meaning the plant we supply is the same as those found in the wild.

Nepenthes albomarginata requires a great deal of light but should not be positioned in direct sunlight or it will become dehydrated. The best temperature is between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius and certainly no lower than 10 degrees Celsius or higher than 30 degrees Celsius. It needs watering generously with rainwater or distilled water in a well-drained pot. It should be sprayed regularly to ensure the pitchers always contain water. Nepenthes albomarginata requires an environment with a high level of humidity. The best type of growing medium is neutral to slightly acidic peat. The plant does not require additional feeding and can be pruned if it becomes too tall.
