That is one cool plant you have there.

cjm3fl, I'm near you and have similar conditions... I have your Nepenthes and 3 others (don't know species/grex- the bigger ones also commonly available with red spots on the cups). I've had them a couple years now and they grow great with the orchids. I've had to divide and repot the larger one, hence having 3. They're hanging in a shadier spot than most of the orchids- more dappled to shade than dappled to sun. Potted in sphagnum in hanging plastic pots. I think you'll find your 'monkey cups' quite rewarding!

p.s. when it isn't raining, they get watered with plain old hose water from the city system. Hasn't killed them yet.

Thanks for the info pipsxlch and always great to hear from a 'neighbor'!

I decide to "upgrade" my water choice and got some Spring Water. I'll spend a few cents more.

I live in a retirement community that "does" it's own water.
It's really heavy with chemicals so I hate to use it so much but we haven't had much in the way of rain yet.


The "new" one is still too small to worry about re-potting yet but I really want to have/get more plants that will reduce the number of mosquitoes and other nuisance bugs

While I don't have any plants with dip-plates or resevoirs it seems all these guys like to hang out around my carport plants.

I would avoid spring water at all costs
They have minerals in them that can kill the roots.

I love mine and it's constantly growing more pitchers. I make sure all the pitchers have a little water in them so they don't dry out. Mine is in part shade.

OK. I'll use the distilled then.
Thanks!

Mine have also started making new pitchers.
It's a really interesting plant and I enjoy staring at it every time I'm outside.

Surprise!
Second baby plant seen growing this morning.

Nice, those are called basals! Eventually you can separate them if you'd like
