About this product
Commonly known as Pitcher Plant. Its striking, tubular pitchers display deep red hues, making it a dramatic and exotic addition to any indoor space. Hardy and low-maintenance for a carnivorous plant, Nepenthes ‘Bloody Mary’ adds texture, color, and tropical intrigue to homes, offices, or decorative displays.
Key Features:
- Striking tubular pitchers in deep red with climbing or trailing stems.
- Unique carnivorous plant that attracts and digests insects naturally.
- Low-maintenance compared to many carnivorous species.
- Perfect for homes, offices, or terrarium-style decorative displays.
- Estimated Size After 5 Years: 30–60 cm (1–2 feet) tall or trailing, depending on care and support.
Care Tips:
- Position: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid direct sunlight which can scorch leaves.
- Soil/Compost: Use a well-draining, acidic mix suitable for carnivorous plants (e.g., sphagnum moss and perlite).
- Watering: Keep soil consistently moist with distilled or rainwater; avoid tap water with high minerals.
- Feeding: Can catch insects naturally; if indoors without insects, occasional dilute fertilizer for carnivorous plants is optional.
- Aftercare: Remove old or dried pitchers. Support trailing stems to encourage growth and pitcher formation.
