Product Information

The Asian Pitcher Plant, or Tropical Pitcher Plant or Nepenthes, can be found in its natural habitat in the tropical regions of Asia – mainly Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore and New Guinea. The name Monkey Cups comes from monkeys occasionally drinking the fluid found in the pitchers.

Stem Cuttings(Difficult) - Choose the healthiest stems located at the leading growths; these should be damage-free and healthy. Cut off at least five inches and remove the older half of the leaves for the reduction of transpiration (moisture loss). Beekman, E.M. (2004).
