Nepenthes reinwardtiana, also known as Reinwardt’s Pitcher Plant, is a tropical carnivorous vine admired for its slender pitchers and unusual “eye spots” found inside the traps. Native to Borneo, Sumatra, and Peninsular Malaysia, it grows across a wide elevation range and adapts well to both lowland and intermediate conditions. This species is a climber, producing vines that can reach several metres in length when supported.

Plant Features

• 1 juvenile Nepenthes reinwardtiana supplied in a sealed grow cup.

• Cup size: approximately 5 cm diameter × 7 cm height.

• Juvenile plants are at an early stage of growth, making them easier to acclimate to your own setup.

• Famous for the distinct red “eye spots” inside its pitchers.

• Suitable for terrariums, greenhouses, or high-humidity indoor environments.

Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light or strong artificial grow lights.

• Temperature: Thrives between 20–28 °C; enjoys warm days with slightly cooler nights.

• Humidity: High humidity is essential for healthy pitcher production.

• Water: Use only distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. Keep the medium moist but not waterlogged.

• Soil: Best grown in a free-draining carnivorous plant mix such as sphagnum moss with perlite or orchid bark.

• Feeding: Naturally attracts insects to its pitchers; supplemental feeding is optional.

Notes

Your plant will arrive in its protective grow cup to ensure safe transport. Being juvenile, it will continue to establish and thrive as it acclimates to its new environment.
