Very Rare - Nepenthes 'Izumiae'

Common Name: Tropical Pitcher Plant

Family: Nepenthaceae

Country of Origin: Sumatra, Indonesia

Description: Nepenthes 'Izumiae', hailing from the tropical rainforests of Sumatra, is renowned for its striking pitchers that are beautifully shaped with a distinctive, flared peristome that is often bright red. These carnivorous marvels are adept at luring and digesting insects, providing both intrigue and utility. Each tissue culture cup (11x7cm) contains 1 plants, making it an exceptional start for anyone looking to cultivate this exotic species.

Preferred Conditions: Requires high humidity and temperatures between 20-30°C. It prefers bright, indirect light or dappled sunlight.

Soil Type: Thrives in a well-draining, acidic soil mix, typically comprised of sphagnum moss and perlite.

Acclimatisation: Gradually introduce to less controlled environments if grown indoors, starting with a high humidity setup and adjusting slowly to your home's conditions.

Care Tips: Keep the soil consistently moist and use rainwater or distilled water to avoid mineral buildup. Avoid fertilising directly; the plant obtains nutrients from captured insects.

Indoor/Outdoor: Best suited for indoor cultivation in greenhouses or terrariums where environmental conditions can be closely managed.

Additional Information: Nepenthes 'Izumiae' not only captivates with its unusual appearance but also serves as a natural form of insect control in your home or greenhouse.
