Nepenthes rafflesiana is an eye-catching lowland–intermediate species from Borneo and Peninsular Malaysia, famed for its generously speckled pitchers and dramatically flared peristome. Lower pitchers are squat, bulbous, and boldly marked in maroon or purple blotches, while elegant green-tinged upper pitchers dangle high on vines. Fast-growing and adaptable, N. rafflesiana rewards attentive growers with some of the showiest traps in the genus.

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
