The lightly flared peristome and delicate lid give the traps a refined, airy look that contrasts beautifully with its slender, climbing foliage.

Country of Origin: Southeast Asia (mainly mountainous regions of Borneo, Sumatra, Philippines, and Papua New Guinea)

Temperature: Day: 20–26 °C (68–78 °F) | Night: 10–15 °C (50–59 °F) – night drop is essential

Care: Moderate to Difficult (requires cooler conditions and temperature drops at night)

Light: Bright indirect light to full sun

Humidity: High (60–90%)

Each transparent carnivorous cup (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant freshly transitioned from tissue culture.

Inside, you'll find a young carnivorous plant planted securely in special growing media soil that replicates their natural habitat.

This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity, aiding the delicate plants during their crucial hardening-off stage.

Perfect for both novice growers and experienced collectors, these cups provide a simple and effective way to cultivate and enjoy captivating insect-eating plants.

A tissue culture vessel is a sterile, transparent container (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) that holds multiple young plants (typically 3 or more) grown under laboratory conditions.

These vessels provide a carefully controlled environment, keeping the plants healthy and contaminant-free until they're ready to transition to standard growing conditions.

Quick Hardening Steps:

1. Open Lid Gradually: Slightly open the cup to slowly reduce humidity.
2. Maintain Humidity: Gradually decrease humidity over 2–4 weeks.
3. Indirect Light: Start with gentle, indirect lighting.
4. Moist Soil: Keep media damp, never wet.
5. Monitor Closely: Slowly increase airflow and light exposure.
