Nepenthes alata (Tropical Pitcher Plant) – 2–3” Starter
Carnivorous | Tropical | Hanging Pitchers

Who needs bug spray when your plant does the dirty work? Nepenthes alata is a tropical pitcher plant that traps insects in hanging, fluid-filled pitchers that are both beautiful and biologically savage.

The long, elegant pitchers form naturally from the ends of its leaves, creating a cascading vine that’s perfect for hanging baskets or shelf drama. Bonus: It eats fungus gnats, fruit flies, and any other tiny freeloaders hanging around.

This listing is for a 2–3” rooted starter, already forming pitchers (or just about to) and ready to grow.

Care Tips:

• Bright, indirect light — no harsh direct sun

• High humidity preferred (mist or use a pebble tray)

• Keep soil moist with distilled or rainwater only

• Use sphagnum moss or a carnivorous plant mix

• Don’t fertilize — it feeds through its pitchers

Plant nerd note: Nepenthes are passive pitfall trap carnivores — meaning they don’t move, they lure. Once a bug falls in, it’s done. No judgment.

Shipped with care in protective packaging. Rooted, healthy, and ready to snack.
