Care Requirements

• Light: Full sun or bright artificial light to encourage vivid coloration and strong pitcher growth.

• Water: Use distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water only. Keep the soil constantly moist—never let it dry out.

• Temperature: Prefers a range of 10–30°C; can tolerate brief cold periods.

• Feeding: No fertiliser required. The pitchers naturally trap and digest insects for nutrition.

• Dormancy: Requires a cool dormancy period of around 3–4 months in winter to maintain long-term health.
