Nepenthes veitchii 

Nepenthes veitchii - Candy x Candy Yamada is a new grex imported from Germany.

This plant prefers intermediate conditions.  It should be kept between 78-84F  in the day and would benefit from nights in the low 60's.  Nepenthes can acclimate to lower humidity levels, although the best results will be seen with a relative humidity range between 75-80%. Bright, indirect light and distilled 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.

This one is turning out to be more golden and we doubt there will be stripes at this size. Still a great plant to add the collection.
