Also known as: Veitch’s Pitcher Plant, Striped Tooth Nepenthes

Nepenthes veitchii is one of the most sought-after and visually striking pitcher plants in cultivation. Native to Borneo, this species is famed for its robust, flared pitchers with boldly striped peristomes and fuzzy, hairy stems and leaves. Whether lowland or highland form, veitchii is known for its slow but rewarding growth, producing some of the most jaw-dropping pitchers in the genus.

This listing includes 1 small plant growing in carnivorous plant soil inside a 5 x 7 cm grow cup (condiment-style). It’s already rooted and beginning the early stages of hardening off, making it easier to transition into your growing environment.

Plant Features:

• Iconic striped peristomes and wide, flaring pitcher mouths

• Hairy foliage and rugged appearance

• Available in both highland and lowland forms (your plant may lean toward intermediate)

• Slow-growing but produces stunning mature pitchers

Alternate Names:

• Nepenthes veitchii

• Veitch’s Pitcher Plant

• Striped Tooth Nepenthes

Care Instructions:

• Light: Bright, indirect light or dappled sun

• Water: Rainwater, distilled, or reverse osmosis only – keep soil moist but not soggy

• Humidity: Prefers 70% or higher, especially during early development

• Temperature: Intermediate to highland – 22–28°C by day, 12–20°C by night

• Potting mix: Use a well-draining carnivorous plant mix (sphagnum moss, perlite, orchid bark – avoid standard potting soil)

For collectors who love bold peristomes, texture, and character, Nepenthes veitchii is a must-grow species that will eventually become a true showpiece in any collection.
