Description

Nepenthes lowii – Gunung Murud, Borneo – Wistuba

Nepenthes lowii – Gunung Murud

These specimens are well hardened-off clones from Wistuba. They are small, about 2″ across. They’re still young, so some of the adult characteristics aren’t visible yet.

This plant prefers highland conditions, which means that it should be kept around 70-80°F during the day and 50-60°F at night with a very high relative humidity.

Nepenthes as a genus prefer high humidity, at least 75% RH for most species. In addition, they should be watered with distilled water, rainwater or reverse osmosis water rather than tap or well water. Fertilizing Nepenthes should only be done rarely, and with extreme care.
