Nepenthes are a genus of carnivorous plants known as tropical pitcher plants or monkey cups. The name "monkey cups" comes from the observation that monkeys drink rainwater from the plant's tube-shaped traps.
Nepenthes generally prefer bright light without direct sunlight. Plant lights do well as long as they are kept far enough away to prevent burning the leaves.
Carnivorous plants such as these can not have regular tap water. Regular water can harm your plant, so it should be watered with rainwater or distilled water.
When pitchers start to die off and turn black, you can use a sterile set of scissors to clip them off. New ones will grow to take their place, and the plant can focus its energy on the living pitchers that are left.
All Plants come with a care sheet to give tips for success.
Brown and black spots on pitchers or leaves are completely normal and part of the growing process. If you have any questions about your care, please don't hesitate to message us at any time.
