Description
Nepenthes sanguinea is indeed a fascinating plant! Its vibrant red pitchers, which are often described as sausage-like, give it a striking appearance. These pitchers can be quite large and robust, providing an effective trap for capturing and digesting insects. The contrast between the red exterior and the speckled interior not only adds to its visual appeal but also helps attract prey. This species is well-adapted to its tropical environment, thriving in conditions with high humidity and bright, indirect light. Do you have one in your collection? If not you need one!
Water ONLY with Distilled or RO water. Tap water will kill them.
