Nepenthes orbiculata RE-0036

 This species is endemic to the island of Phang Nga off the coast of Thailand and thought to be an extreme form of the mainland population of N. mirabilis. They produce very squat pitchers with large wings and create an eye-catching specimen!  This is the first horticultural release in the US between our two spectacular forms. They love warmth, high humidity, and not too bright. The main images show our larger specimens.  The last image shows the seedling size we are offering. This plant will be shipped in a pot. 

This plant prefers lowland conditions.  It should be kept between 80-88F  in the day and doesn't require a temperature drop. Temperatures under 60F should be avoided.  75-80%+ humidity. Bright, indirect light, and pure water.

Nepenthes or tropical pitcher plants are primarily native to Southeast Asia.  There are roughly 180 species, with many recently discovered in the 20th century. They grow anywhere from hot, sticky jungles to chill mountain tops high above the clouds. Tho Nepenthes were once thought to be difficult to grow, this is far from the truth. Most plants have adapted to cultivation quite well and the hobby is growing quickly. In fact, most tropical pitcher plant species and hybrids will thrive between 60-85 degrees Fahrenheit.
