This classic swamp-dwelling species will develop basal rosettes when larger, giving the appearance of a carpet of pitchers with few or no leaves. It grows easily in acidic media, but needs high temperatures, moist roots and high humidity.
This item originates from about 750m altitude and therefore tolerates lower temperatures than other forms of the species commonly in cultivation. Hence, we class it as an ‘intermediate’ grower. When juvenile, the pitchers are uniform yellow-green with attractive red-tinted leaves as the photos show. When mature, the pitchers develop a light red speckling, but the peristomes remain a uniform yellow-green, and makes a striking contrast to the red leaves.
