Nepenthes Miranda - carnivorous pitcher plant
Back in stock: in 4-6 weeksNepenthes 'Miranda' - pitcher plant
DESCRIPTION: Carnivorous epiphytic plant from Malaysia, growing in an arching rosette of apple-green glossy leaves, which develop into codpiece-like tubes at the end filled with bug-dissolving enzymes. Miranda has very large, creamy, red-spotted pitchers with deep red lips, and is a good variety for beginner carnivorous plant growers.
USES: Interesting and unusual indoor plant, or outdoors in tropical zones.
PLANTING: An orchid mix is ideal, with chunks of bark, sphagnum moss or coir to let air to the roots and drain away water fast.
CARE: Loves it humid and warm, definitely above 10C at night. Mist them regularly to keep them happy, water often but don't let them get soggy. Once a year a mature plant might need a pick-me-up, feed with diluted orchid feed.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: 60 cm + H
PLEASE NOTE: These are tubestock plants with a healthy young root system and will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80 mm x 42 mm wide. Your plants may be supplied as 'plugs', slightly smaller than our usual tubestock but with a healthy root system ready for planting or potting on.
