Nepenthes Briggsiana is a striking tropical pitcher plant known for its impressive size and bold coloration. The large, robust pitchers are vibrantly hued, often displaying deep crimson to burgundy tones that gradually fade into a rich, golden-green at the pitcher’s upper portions. Distinctive peristomes (pitcher rims) showcase pronounced ridging and undulating margins, highlighted by glossy shades of deep red or maroon. Each pitcher hangs gracefully from sturdy, vine-like tendrils, complemented by glossy, elongated leaves that add elegance and lushness to its exotic appearance.

At over 5 cm in size, this small yet vigorous plant showcases remarkable potential, making it a perfect starter or addition to your carnivorous plant collection.

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
