Nepenthes Mojito Carnivorous Plant Monkey Jars Pitcher Plant Hanging 35cm

Nepenthes Mojito, like all pitcher plants, is carnivorous and lures insects into its pitchers to capture and digest them. The pitcher's interior contains a mixture of digestive fluids that break down the insects into nutrients, which the plant absorbs.

The Nepenthes Mojito produces distinctive pitchers. These are elongated and come in various shades of green, often with mottled or marbled patterns, resembling the colors found in a mojito cocktail, which is how it got its name.

Nepenthes Mojito is a cultivated hybrid of Nepenthes ventricosa and Nepenthes talangensis, both native to Southeast Asia.

Care Tips: My family and I are from the tropical rainforests of Borneo and the surrounding area, which is nice and humid just how we like it. I understand that a rainforest might be hard to find in colder countries, but the more similar my new home is to a rainforest the happier I will be. I drink a lot.

Light: Bright indirect indoors, I love being where it is light, but where I'am not in direct sunlight.

Watering: You probably already know that I hate it when my roots are dry. I’m happiest when you keep my roots damp by adding small amounts of water. Normally, I’ll be quite happy if you water me with a watering can twice a week when I am indoors. But that really depends on the situation. Watering me twice a week might be just too much or just not enough. So make sure to check that my soil is always damp. If it is a little dry, I would love another sip of water!

I love to shower: To water me, just put me in the sink. Or even better: give me a shower! I’m used to tropical rainforests, remember? And a shower means no water on your nice carpet…

Extra Water: To water me, just put me in the sink. Or even better: give me a shower! I’m used to tropical rainforests, remember? And a shower means no water on your nice carpet…

Temperature: I’m quite comfortable at temperatures between 16 and 24 degrees. Easy, right?

Humidity: medium to high. Use a plant sprayer to keep me humid. If you want to pamper me like I’m in a wellness resort, then use a plant sprayer on me each day to keep my leaves humid or buy me a humidifier that way, I will feel like I am back home in the jungle!

Location: greenhouse, terrarium, windowsill, bathroom

Origin: Nepenthes Mojito is a cultivated hybrid of Nepenthes ventricosa and Nepenthes talangensis, both native to Southeast Asia.

Extra Info: Although I can live for a long time, my pitchers will drop and make way for new ones periodically.

Toxicity: Pitcher plants are not known to be poisonous to cats. ... As with any plants, you do want to avoid allowing your cat to eat these plants as they can cause tummy upset. However, no major side effects or lasting effects have been noted involving felines and pitcher plants.
