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.
A tissue culture vessel is a clear gel, 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:
Each transparent Transition Cup (5 cm diameter × 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant that has moved beyond sterile tissue culture and into a structured transition medium.
Inside, you’ll find a young carnivorous plant securely planted in a semi-solid blend designed to support root development while easing the shift from gel to soil.
This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity and airflow, helping reduce transplant shock and supporting the plant during this critical transition stage.
Suitable for both novice growers and experienced collectors, Transition Cups provide a reliable, low-stress way to guide delicate carnivorous plants toward successful soil establishment.
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.
