Good houseplant Grows in an ordinary home with a bright window or a grow light.

A cross of intermediate parents; hybrids usually take conditions between their parents'.

What it needs in your home

Aim for: A bright windowsill or a grow light on a shelf.

  • 🌙
    Nights 54–72°F, close to an ordinary home. A few degrees' drop at night helps it pitcher.
  • ☀️
    Days 72–90°F: normal room temperatures are fine.
  • ❄️
    Coldest it takes 50°F. Keep it away from cold windows and doors in winter.
  • 💧
    Humidity 60–90%, more than most homes (30–50%). A terrarium, a grow tent with a humidifier, or a cabinet; or group plants on a pebble tray. Once acclimated it adapts to an ordinary home's humidity.
  • 💡
    Light Bright indirect light or partial sun
  • 🚰
    Water and soil Mineral-free only (rain, distilled, RO; TDS under ~100 ppm, ideally much lower); damp, not waterlogged; no tray. Pot it in long-fibre sphagnum + perlite, optional orchid bark.

Good to know: hybrids are usually more forgiving of household conditions than either parent.

Bringing it home

Adapts to household humidity Most hybrids get used to household humidity (40–50%) once acclimated. Pitchering can pause for a few weeks while it adjusts.

When it arrives: pot it up, water it, and seal it in a clear bag or under a dome at 80–100% humidity in low light. Then give it a little more light and air each day, opening a bag about 10% a day. If leaves go limp or brown, stop until they firm up. New leaves take 2–6 weeks.

Tom's species pages: N. peltata (865-1635 m) 24-31C days / 14-21C nights; N. glandulifera (1100-1700 m) 24-30C / 14-20C. Most tolerant group; many hybrids grow here.
Likely best temperatures. Estimated for the cross from its parents' habitats, averaged as if from about 510–2,050 m: days 22–32 °C (72–90 °F), nights 12–22 °C (54–72 °F). Night temperatures in an ordinary home are close to its habitat.
Worked out the way Tom's Carnivores' Nepenthes calculator does it: the average of the parents' ranges, each parent passing on half. An estimate: parentage, clone and how a plant was raised all matter, and plants often grow well outside it.
