AKA monkey cups
I bought one this year at HD -- That is a beautiful specimen from what I understand just keep the soil moist and it will take of itself if transporting it the water comes out of the "cups" you can put about 1-2" back in. I read a very weak mixture of Miracid willl help feed it as well. But Id wait till Iggy or Stillmanz chimes in they seem to quite a bit about them.
Yep, pitcher plants are awesome. Keep the soil moist and you'll be fine. Also, stick a stick in there and tie the plant lightly to it, they climb.
luckydog and igg you guys have same picture thing? kinda confusing anyways.
good tip on the stick anyways theyre is a rack right above the vines seem to be reaching for it so will be cool to see if it will wrap all around it. i also have some little bucket forming. I hope these guys will eat aphids I got plenty to feed em if soo Frog is gone he must not have liked the pruning job i did oh well. I wish i could cook with these somehow do these do ok with high winds?

They aren't exactly like vines per say, they just wedge themselves into nooks and crannies of large tropical trees. Hence why tieing them to a stick is recomended. Tallest one I saw was about 7 feet.Noshownate said:good tip on the stick anyways theyre is a rack right above the vines seem to be reaching for it so will be cool to see if it will wrap all around it. i also have some little bucket forming.

I would keep them out of high winds, all the digestive enzimes (or Nepenthis Drool as we CPers like to call it) will be tossed out of the pitchers. As for cooking, I've heard that the digestive efluid tastes sweet like honey...but I've never had the guts to try it.
Yep, fun timesNoshownate said:
