Plant care: Tropical pitcher plant 'Nepenthes hispida'

Tropical pitcher plants hispida (Nepenthes hipida) is an impressive tropical pitcher plant that requires specific care for healthy growth. This carnivorous plant prefers soft, mineral-free water such as rainwater, distilled water, or purified water. The soil should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged, so a well-draining mix like sphagnum moss and perlite is ideal. Water the plant regularly, ensuring the soil stays moist without becoming soggy. Nepenthes hipida thrives in temperatures between 20°C and 30°C (68°F - 86°F) during the day, with cooler nighttime temperatures of 15°C to 20°C (59°F - 68°F). Avoid placing the plant in cold drafts or temperatures below 15°C (59°F). For lighting, Nepenthes hipida needs bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while too little light may cause it to grow lanky and fail to produce its characteristic pitcher traps. A bright, shaded spot or a window with diffused sunlight is ideal for this tropical pitcher plant.
