Cultivation

Ideal Conditions

Parameter Suggestion Notes
Temperature (Day) 23–28°C Works well in Lowland to Intermediate tropical climate
Temperature (Night) 18–22 °C Shouldnt fall below 15 °C
Light 100–300 PPFD Growths lithophytic on limestone cliffs, with constant small amounts of water running down the wall, gets a fair amount of light. Still all in cultivation from Mulu site arent that exposed to light
Humidity 40–90 % It seems that also lower humidity isnt an issue for this species, still a bit higher amounts seems to be fine at around constant 60-70%

Substrate & Fertilizing

Parameter Suggestion Hinweise
Substrate AKP, Sphagnum mixed with Limestone AKP is working well, Nerz said he uses Sphagnum with limestone
Potsize medium The plant has really sensitive roots which break off with ease. Preventing often repots by choosing a pot which fits it for a long time is better
Watering Always keep very moist Seems to doesnt like to sit in water or having drops on the leaves for too long
Fertilizing around  500-1000 µS every week needs a bit more fertilization than other Nepenthes species
Fertilizer Tolerance high Feels good with a good amount of fertilization
