The Nepenthes Pitcher Plant, also known as the Monkey Cup Plant, is an exotic, tropical carnivorous plant that develops unique hanging pitcher traps to capture and digest insects. These elegant and colorful pitchers produce sweet nectar that lures in prey, making it a natural pest controller while adding a stunning visual appeal to any indoor or greenhouse setup.

Nepenthes thrive in high-humidity environments and make excellent additions to terrariums, paludariums, and greenhouse setups. Their ability to absorb moisture from the air makes them a fantastic choice for enclosed tropical displays. Pre-potted in a 2" Plastic Pot, this low-maintenance carnivorous plant is a fascinating addition to any plant collection.


Features We Love:

  • Exotic, Hanging Pitchers: Beautiful, vase-shaped traps dangle from tendrils, perfect for unique displays.
  • Natural Pest Control: Attracts and digests insects, reducing flies, gnats, and other pests naturally.
  • Terrarium & Paludarium Friendly: Thrives in humid, enclosed environments with proper air circulation.
  • Perfect for Indoor Growing: Can thrive in warm, humid conditions with bright, indirect light.
  • Diverse and Unique Species: Different varieties produce pitchers in shades of red, green, or even speckled patterns.

Care Guidelines:

  • Light: Bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight; avoid direct afternoon sun.
  • Water: Use only distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water—never tap water. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.
  • Temperature: 65° - 85° F (18° - 29° C); prefers warm, humid environments.
  • Humidity: Requires high humidity (60-80%); mist regularly or grow in a terrarium/paludarium/greenhouse setup.
  • Growth Rate: Moderate to fast; pitchers can grow for months before needing replacement.
  • Feeding: If grown indoors, occasionally provide small insects like fruit flies or freeze-dried bugs—never feed meat or human food.

Perfect for Terrariums & Paludariums!

The Nepenthes Pitcher Plant is an excellent choice for rainforest-style terrariums and tropical paludariums. Its ability to absorb moisture from the air and thrive in warm, humid conditions makes it a natural fit for bioactive enclosures. Pair it with mosses, ferns, and creeping vines for a lush, exotic look, and provide perches or hanging spots to allow the pitchers to develop freely.

Best Tank Mates for a Bioactive Setup:
Dart Frogs & Tree Frogs – Safe in a tropical, misted terrarium.
Geckos – Great for humid enclosures like Crested Gecko setups.
Small Invertebrates – Thrives with springtails and isopods in bioactive setups.
Not Recommended for Tanks with Herbivorous Reptiles – May get damaged by heavy foraging animals.


Pro Tips:

  • Watering Method: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid standing water in the pot.
  • Soil Mix: Prefers a well-draining, nutrient-poor mix like sphagnum moss and perlite.
  • Air Circulation: Good airflow prevents mold and helps maintain pitcher production.
  • Encourage Pitchers: Regular misting and stable humidity help maintain healthy pitcher growth.
  • Placement: Ideal for hanging baskets, terrarium perches, or attached to driftwood in a paludarium.

Wonderful, great finitions
Color: White, Size: Queen, Color: White, Size: Queen
I thought of a size "full" when I ordered a queen size for my French 140cm x 200cm guest bed. When I received the package and realized I had made a mistake, I was despaired because I had no time to change it so I went to look for bed size equivalences between France and USA. At the end, I thought I could give it a try so I did, and I am so happy I did because it perfectly works! I am so relieved. The top mattress is padded, even just coming out of the package. I am still going to let it take its fluffyness for a few hours! 3asy to unpack, to install, to use!!! Easy to wash, easy to dry! I usually wash PADDED top mattresses with a cup of vinegar to sanitize and I always add the necessary amount of laudry powder only on a semi warm cycle. I let the top mattresses dry in the dryer with new zealand woolen balls to increase the fluffy aspect, but always on a soft cycle or with cold air. It takes a bit of time, but it is gentle on the microfiber fabric! This queen top mattress is very comfy and it should please my guess! FYI, if you like to sleep on a hard or firm mattress forget this one, it is very soft!!! It might not be for your back depending on what you suffer from, but suffering from lombalgia, it relieved my pain when I slept on mine, though. Remember just that sleeping well is, among other things, a question of possitions...like on your left side to help your stomack, or on your back. I do not know it it helps to cool down, especially because it Texas at night it is warmmmm! All in all this white padded top mattress seems to be a good quality product. It was a steal being for sale at half price! It fits perfectly thick mattresses too and the elastics are solid. My guests will sleep like angels👍

It’s ok
Color: Black, Size: Queen
It’s a very nice mattress topper. Is comfy, but it’s not as fluffy as advertised. And it is not cooling.

COOL, COMFORTABLE & CUSHIONY
Color: White, Size: King
I Love, Love, Love this Mattress Protecter, Cover, Topper, it is "thick, cool, beautiful and just the right size for my bed, I purchased it "King Size" because I like it to go all around my mattress so it covers and protects "all of my mattress". It is Fluffy, just enough Padding to Support your body's weight. I had one previous to this one, it was the same brand, the same comfort and I've had it for Years, it is very Durable and Stain /Resistant. I have no complaints. I am going to try to upload a short clip, please bear with me, it's my first time posting a video and I am an amateur...I hope you love it as much as I do because you will have years of use with this "Mattress Topper".

Would recommend!
Color: White, Size: Queen
I bought this mattress topper for my teenage daughter for her bed. It was on sale when I purchased it and when it arrived I loved the quality and softness of the topper. Great buy for the price! It stays in place and fits as sized. I have yet to launder it, but I would assume it will wash up just fine. My daughter loves it and makes her bed dreamy.

Saved me so much money
Im loving this mattress topper. It has added a noticeable layer of comfort to my firm mattress without making it feel too soft. The cushion is plush yet supportive and has made sleeping more comfortable overall. The bamboo feels soft and breathable. It fits on the mattress with the deep pockets and stays in place alk night. Setup was easy and it fluffed up after unpacking. If you have a firm mattress and want extra comfort without replacing it, this topper is a great option. Highly recommend
