Nepenthes like high humidity, but not excessively wet soil. This can be tricky, as they will not tolorate being in a tray of water like sarracenia will. They will also not tolorate dry soil, and can wither quite fast when unhappy. Therefore, they will need to be attended to more so than sarracenia or venus flytraps. As a rule, a minimum of 50% humidity is required for nepenthes, and temperatures that never dip below 50 degrees farenheight. They can do nicely as houseplants under these conditions, though some may need to slowly acclimate. Generally it is best to grow these plants in terrariums, keeping the humidity levels very high. They will appreciate more filtered light but still very bright. Direct sun can be harmful, especially if the plant is enclosed.

Nepenthes will vine upward and outgrow most terrariums if not carefully pruned from time to time, as new growth appears lower on the stem, trim excessive growth above it as needed.

Planting Instructions: These can sometimes form small root systems compared to the size of the overall plant. Fill your pot to the top with the planting material, then use your fingers to make a hole large enough for the root system, place the root system in the hole, and gently push planting material in around it until the pot is full. Tamp it down slightly, and put it in it's new home and Leave It Alone. Nepenthes will like to grow into one spot that they can call their own.

After transplanting, leave your plants alone. They will need time to adjust and root in. Most CP appreciate tray watering, and Not top watering, however, Nepenthes is a little more difficult. Nepenthes DO NOT like to be top watered because they hate having their roots disturbed but most species of Nepenthes will not tolorate being in a tray of water either. Use a spray bottle of distilled water and take time to spray the Nepenthes plants each day, making sure the growing medium stays moist but not overly wet.
