Nepenthes Alata

Nepenthes Alata

These plants really catch your attention. I currently have five of them, each producing pitchers that are 5-7 inches tall! I have read that they can get up to nine inches though. Pitchers are light green in lower light to deep red in higher light conditions.

Lower Light Conditions

On this second picture, I moved this plant to a lower light condition. You will notice that the new pitchers on the right have adjusted to the lower lighting conditions and have more of a green appearance.

Lower Light Conditions

This pitcher was grown under higher light, giving it a more deep red color.
