Nepenthes Neoguinensis Cultivation

Nepenthes neoguinensis is an easy and beautiful plant to grow.

Cultivating Ease - Easy

Type - This plant grows well in lowland and intermediate conditions.

Temperature - Daytime temperatures can range from 80-95 degrees. Nighttimes temps between 60 degrees and 80 degrees.

Humidity -  I would recommend keeping the humdity above 65%.

Light -  It grows very well in a large chamber under lights. I have not tried to increase the light levels above this.

Moisture - Keep the plant moist. I usually grow this plant on a tray method. I sit the pot on about 1" of water, and over a week or two the water will evaporate and the soil will start to dry a bit. I then water again. If the plant dries out, it will lose its pitchers.

Soil - Long Fiber Sphagnum

Size - Not sure of the ultimate size of the plant, but lower rosettes can reach 1 1/2 feet in diameter.

Details: An easy plant that produces beautifully shaped and colored pitchers, especially lowers, which can be nearly black.

Propagation -  I have yet to propagate this plant.

Forms - I only know of the typical form.
