Common species of pitcher plants

Nepenthes bicalcarata

It is the largest pitcher plant in the world, with stems that can grow up to 30 centimeters. The bottle is round, and two "fangs" grow around the lid to attract insects. Nectaries grow at both ends of the fangs, and insects will fall into the bottle when they smell the honey.

Nepenthes campanulata

Also called mini pitcher plant, it is very rare. The pitcher is funnel-shaped and, unlike other pitcher plants, its stems grow in clusters on the rock wall. When its branches reach a certain length, they will stop growing and sprout many new buds at the bottom to regrow.

Nepenthes miniata

It is a lowland pitcher plant. The pitcher is not big, but the shape is simple and it is easy to grow. As long as the humidity is within the limit it will grow well. The branches and vines grow in a climbing manner, and the space for decoration is limited.

Nepenthes apple

Unlike other types, its bottle is flipped backwards, so water will accumulate when it rains. The bottles are filled with rotten leaves of other plants, but it is unclear whether they can catch insects!

Nepenthes truncatula

Giant pitcher plant, under suitable artificial cultivation conditions, can produce the largest pitcher. Its stems are upright and there are no vines that entwine with each other, so try to avoid rain to prevent water from pouring into the bottle and causing the petioles to break.
