Nepenthes ‘Miranda’ is one of the most striking and vigorous lowland tropical pitcher plant hybrids, celebrated for its large, colorful pitchers and adaptable nature. A cross between Nepenthes maxima and Nepenthes northiana, this cultivar produces impressive green pitchers adorned with deep red speckles and a contrasting wide, striped peristome. The interiors of the pitchers often display a rich reddish hue, making them a true statement plant in any carnivorous collection.

Plant Size & Form5This listing is for one small plant (approximately 3–6 cm) supplied in a sealed 7 × 5 cm grow cup, perfect for maintaining high humidity during its early growth phase. The plant is healthy, well-rooted, and ready to continue growing into a vigorous specimen under the right conditions.

Care Requirements

  • Type: Lowland tropical pitcher plant.

  • Light: Bright, indirect light to dappled sunlight. Avoid harsh midday sun for young plants.

  • Temperature: Prefers warm lowland conditions (day: 24–30°C, night: 18–22°C).

  • Humidity: High humidity (60–80%) promotes the best pitcher development.

  • Water: Use only rainwater, distilled, or reverse osmosis water. Keep the medium damp but well-draining.

  • Feeding: Can catch its own insects once pitchers form, but occasional feeding with small insects can encourage faster growth.

Ideal For

Collectors, terrarium enthusiasts, and growers wanting a bold, hardy lowland Nepenthes hybrid with spectacular pitcher display potential.

What is a Tissue Culture?

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.
  • Monitor Closely: Slowly increase airflow and light exposure.

What is a Soil Cup?

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
