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 Gunung 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 3/4 with limestone 1/4
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
