Plant information: Tropical pitcher plant 'Nepenthes x miranda' 'M'

The pitcher traps of Nepenthes × miranda contain a liquid with digestive enzymes. Insects are attracted by nectar and the color of the pitcher. When they land on the rim, they easily slide inside because the inside is smooth. Once inside the pitcher, they find it difficult to climb out and are slowly digested. This provides the plant with nutrients such as nitrogen, which are often scarce in the soil where it grows. Nepenthes x miranda can grow into a plant several meters tall. It is possible to keep this Nepenthes in a hanging pot or in a standing pot. Make sure the cups have enough space. The plant will then grow at a normal rate. Nepenthes x miranda blooms with yellow-brown flowers in the shape of a cluster. For additional information about this exotic carnivorous plant, please refer to the Araflora product information below.

Plant care: Tropical pitcher plant 'Nepenthes x miranda' 'M'

Nepenthes x miranda requires ample sunlight. However, avoid placing the plant in direct sunlight due to the risk of dehydration. The optimal temperature is between 15 and 25⁰C and should not fall below 10⁰C or exceed 30⁰C. Because the hybrid is a cross between two highland species, it is more resistant to lower temperatures. Water generously with rainwater or distilled water, allowing excess water to drain from the pot. Spray the plant regularly with a plant sprayer to ensure that a layer of water remains in the cup. The room in which Nepenthes x miranda is kept must have a relatively high humidity. The species thrives on neutral to slightly acidic peat and requires extra nutrients. You can prune the plant if it becomes too large.
