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.

  1. Gorgeous! Is this an indoor plant? Posted 5 years ago
    1. 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.

      1. 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
        1. Yes during winter you can also put water next to heaters, and there's also electronic dispensers if needed. Posted 5 years ago
  2. Well if I was a small critter I'd sure want to explore that magic. Posted 5 years ago
    1. Especially the inside, the inside is best! Posted 5 years ago
