Nepenthes Burkeii Cultivation

Nepenthes burkeii is a highland plant, and is very similar to N. ventricosa.

Cultivating Ease - Very Easy

Type - This plant is a highlander. It can live in a wide range of temperatures.

Temperature - Although it is a highland plant, it actually grows as well as an intermediate.

Humidity - This plant pitchers better if the humidity is kept above 75%.

Light - Bright light to full  (diffused) sunlight.  It grows very well in a large chamber under lights.

Moisture - Keep the plant moist. Do not keep the roots very wet for long periods of time.

Soil - Long Fiber Sphagnum

Size - The plant grows on a compact stem. It's a relatively compact climber.

Details: Burkeii produces a beautiful array of pitchers, and displays well in a hanging basket. When small, the pitchers are more readily distinguishable from ventricosa, as they are very "tubby".  As older plants, the more narrow leaves for burkeii is the easiest way to tell it apart from ventricosa.

Propagation -  The plant grows relatively quickly from small tissue culture plants. Cuttings are also easy.

Forms - I am only aware of the typical form.
