Description
Nepenthes hybrider ‘Blood Red’
A unique looking houseplant which originates from tropical rainforests and makes a showy display in a hanging planter, where its pitchers hang down from tendrils growing from the leaf tips. The interesting, bi-coloured pitchers of Nepenthes ?Blood Red? are light green and red in colour and full of digestive juices. Commonly known as ‘monkey cups’, it was thought that monkeys would drink water from their pitchers in the rainforest! The sweet-smelling nectar of Nepenthes ?Blood Red? attracts insects to the edge of the pitcher, where they slip down into its digestive juices. Height: 40cm (16?). Spread: 30cm (12?).
