🌱 Quick Tips

Excellent hybrid vigor compared to many pure species

 

📏 Key Features

  • Difficulty: Intermediate
  • Pitcher Potential: Large striped pitchers with thick peristome influence
  • Collector Value: High

 

☀️ Light Requirements

Bright indirect light is ideal.

Too little light usually results in:

weak growth
fewer pitchers
dull coloration

 

🌡️ Temperature Tolerance:

12–34°C

Avoid prolonged cold conditions below 14°C.

 

💧 Humidity Tolerance:

50–95%

Higher humidity produces larger and more consistent pitchers.

Once established, this hybrid is often more forgiving than many pure species.

 

💦 Watering

🚨 NEVER allow the media to dry out completely.

Use:
Rainwater
RO water
Distilled water

Avoid:
Tap water
Borehole water with high minerals

Keep media moist but airy — not swampy.

 

🪵 Recommended Growing mix:

  • Long fiber sphagnum moss
  • Perlite
  • Orchid bark
  • Coco chips (optional)

Good airflow around the roots is VERY important.

 

🍽️ Feeding

Pitchers will naturally catch insects 🪰

Optional feeding:

  • Small insects
  • Crushed fish flakes very sparingly
  • Osmocote pellets ONLY with experience and caution

Do not overfeed.

 

⚠️ Common Problems

No pitchers?

Usually caused by:

  • Low humidity
  • Insufficient light
  • Stress after transport

Black leaves?

Usually overwatering with poor airflow or mineral buildup.

Slow growth?

Often caused by low light or cold temperatures.
