Known as a porcelain form of the species, this is not to be confused with the 'Longwood' clone, which is much slower and unique. This clone produces cream-colored pitchers with peristomes that become very dark as they age.  

 The main image shows the parent clone of the cuttings we are importing. Shipped bare-root.

This plant prefers intermediate conditions.  It should be kept between 80-83F  in the day and could benefit from cooler nights in the 55-64f range.  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 pure water.

Nepenthes 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. Though 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.
