Description

Nepenthes sumatrana – Seed Grown – Christian Klein – Rare – Specimen

Nepenthes sumatrana

This specimen is a well hardened-off clone from Christian Klein. It’s large, 6 to 8 inches across. It’s still young, so some of the adult characteristics aren’t visible yet.

This plant prefers lowland conditions, which means that it should be kept around 80-90°F during the day and 65-70°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.
