$24.99
4.5" Hanging Basket

Nepenthes Gracilis, also known as the Tropical Pitcher Plant, is a carnivorous plant that's native to Southeast Asia. This plant has a unique appearance that's sure to capture your attention. It features long, slender leaves with tendrils that form intricate traps to catch insects.

The traps, also known as pitchers, are designed to lure in insects with their bright colors and sweet nectar. Once trapped, the insect is slowly digested by enzymes produced by the plant, providing the Nepenthes Gracilis with the nutrients it needs to thrive.

In addition to its unique appearance, the Nepenthes Gracilis is relatively easy to care for. It prefers bright, indirect light and a humid environment. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged and avoid using tap water, which can contain minerals that can harm the plant. Instead, use distilled or rainwater to water your Nepenthes Gracilis.

To ensure your plant stays healthy, it's important to prune back any dead or dying pitchers and provide it with regular fertilization during the growing season.

Overall, the Nepenthes Gracilis is a fascinating plant that's sure to impress anyone who sees it. With its unique appearance and ease of care, it's a great addition to any collection, whether you're an experienced gardener or just starting out.
