Nepenthes x 'Miranda', tropical pitcher plant, live carnivorous plant, potted

Nepenthes x Miranda is one of the easiest Nepenthes for beginners. It makes a great windowsill plant or can grow outdoors in warm months. It is a hybrid of N maxima and N northiana. They will create ENORMOUS pitchers almost 12" tall with beautiful striping coloration. The prominent peristome is a deep red. The pitchers have decent wings.

Plants are currently in a 4" pot and will be shipped potted.

Nepenthes care: We primarily focus on Lowland/ Intermediate species/ varieties. These particular Nepenthes do well with bright, indirect sunlight. We grow ours under 50% shade cloth. You will know if they are receiving adequate light when the leaves take on an orange to red tint. If the leaves go deep red then the plant is getting too much sun. They must be kept moist at all times using de-chlorinated water preferably with a low TDS (rain water, RO or distilled works well). A night time drop in temperatures for most nepenthes but it only required for high-landers. They do best with daytime temperatures in the 70-80°F with a 10° drop at night. Do not allow the temperature to fall below 60°F though. They prefer a humidity of 60% or more. If you cannot achieve a high humidity, mist the plant as needed paying special attention to developing tendrils and pitchers. *If the insides of the pitchers are dry when you receive it, place about a tablespoon of distilled/rainwater in each one. It will prevent it from drying out until it starts producing again.
