Regular price

Nepenthes Monkey Cup Pitcher Plant
The Nepenthes, commonly known as the Monkey Cup or Pitcher Plant, is a fascinating carnivorous houseplant that brings tropical intrigue to any indoor space. This exotic specimen features distinctive globe- or tube-shaped pitchers that emerge from trailing tendrils, creating a striking visual display perfect for hanging baskets.
Natural Carnivorous Features
From its tendrils, you'll see globe- or tube-shaped protrusions that act as traps. In the tropics, monkeys are often seen drinking rainwater from these "pitchers" which is how it got its most popular nicknames. These natural pitchers serve as the plant's unique feeding mechanism, capturing insects through a combination of attractive nectar, slippery surfaces, and digestive enzymes. Each pitcher develops naturally as the plant matures, providing both functional insect control and visual interest.
Mini Basket Format
This Nepenthes arrives in a mini hanging basket, making it an ideal choice for compact spaces, shelving displays, or as part of a larger plant collection. The trailing growth habit and dangling pitchers create an eye-catching presentation that works beautifully in hanging arrangements or elevated positions where the unique structures can be fully appreciated. The compact size allows for easy placement in apartments, offices, or any indoor environment with appropriate lighting.
Tropical Houseplant Care
As a tropical carnivorous plant, the Monkey Cup thrives in bright, indirect light with high humidity levels. The pitcher structures require consistent moisture and benefit from environments that mimic their native rainforest habitat. This live plant makes an excellent conversation piece for plant enthusiasts looking to expand their collection with something truly unique. The carnivorous nature means you won't need to fertilize - the plant obtains nutrients naturally from captured insects.
Perfect For Plant Collectors
The Nepenthes Monkey Cup stands out as a collector's item among houseplants. Its carnivorous nature, combined with the architectural beauty of its pitcher traps, makes it a prized addition for anyone seeking exotic and unusual botanical specimens. Whether you're an experienced plant collector or looking for a memorable gift, this pitcher plant delivers both visual interest and functional fascination.
