Nepenthes albomarginata "Red West Sumatra", CAR-0867
Nepenthes albomarginata is a widespread lowland species from throughout peninsular Malaysia, Borneo and Sumatra. Its signature characteristic is a white ring underneath the peristome which functions as an extremely effective termite bait. We’ve observed plants in the wild filled to the brim with termites (and subsequently the white exudate had been eaten off).
The plants for sale here are seed grown with red leaves and pitchers. They originate from Christian Klein in Germany.
Nepenthes albomarginata is best grown as an intermediate to lowland species. It needs good drainage or it's prone to fungal infections! We use net pots and a well drained media. Good air movement is also appreciated.
This product is considered a Intermediate Tropical plant. Please see our Shipping and Guarantees policy for cold/hot weather shipping guidelines.
Most of our products come with multiple shipping options. For those that are unpotted, you can add Pots and Soil or Hanging Baskets a la carte.
