Nepenthes reinwardtiana
Reinwardt’s Pitcher Plant is a striking tropical pitcher plant with slender, climbing green to reddish stems that can reach several meters in length. The pitchers are typically elongated and tubular, around 10–15 cm tall, with a smooth surface that ranges in color from green to red, sometimes with mottled markings. One of its most distinctive features is the presence of two small, dark eye-spots (called “ocelli”) inside the upper part of the pitcher, just below the peristome (the lip of the pitcher). These eye-like markings are thought to help lure insects deeper into the trap. The peristome itself is slightly flared and may be green, yellow, or reddish, depending on light conditions. The lid is ovate to round, usually held above the pitcher opening, helping to shield it from rain while still allowing prey to enter.
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:
- Open Lid Gradually: Slightly open the cup to slowly reduce humidity.
- Maintain Humidity: Gradually decrease humidity over 2–4 weeks.
- Indirect Light: Start with gentle, indirect lighting.
- Moist Soil: Keep media damp, never wet.
- Monitor Closely: Slowly increase airflow and light exposure.
