Nepenthes - UV, Heesch, Netherlands

Henriette bought me this pretty large Nepenthes plant a few weeks ago, exact species unknown. I decided to try and photograph it under UV light. In this case I'm using a pretty strong UV flashlight in a fully dark room.

Gorgeous! Is this an indoor plant? Posted 5 years ago

  It can be, yet you need high humidity. Truth is, I considered buying this one myself, yet decided not to for this reason. But that's just in my mind, so Henriette couldn't know :)
  
  Currently I have it hanging outside in the garden, where it's fending for itself. Posted 5 years ago

    Well, it's gorgeous! And, it might not be easy to keep inside once winter comes, but I'm sure there are ways to increase the humidity for it...maybe a humidity tray? Sorry if this is obvious, but I do this with some of my indoor plants...I buy a larger plant saucer, put some tiny rocks in it, add water, and then sit the humidity-loving plant on top of it. Seems to help. Posted 5 years ago

      Yes during winter you can also put water next to heaters, and there's also electronic dispensers if needed. Posted 5 years ago

Well if I was a small critter I'd sure want to explore that magic. Posted 5 years ago
