Description
The pitcher is actually a swelling of the mid-vein in the leaf. Insects are attracted to these pitchers due to nectar secretions and colouration of the pitcher. Once the insect falls into the pitcher, they are digested by the fluid at the bottom of the trap. Give this plant lots of bright but not direct light, and keep the soil damp at all times, but avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.
You do not need to feed Nepenthes, as it gets all the nutrients it needs from its soil. Although there is nothing wrong with putting an insect in the pot from time to time, only feed one insect at a time, so that the plant does not have to digest too much at once.Direct from the Grower
