Nepenthes St. Gaya is the cross of N. khsiana x (ventricosa x maxima). This is an easy to grow hybrid Nepenthes which is ideal for beginners. This Nepenthes will tolerate a variety of lighting and temperature conditions.
Pitcher plants like humid, boggy environments; this is the main thing to keep in mind when watering nepenthes. Feel the planting medium regularly, and water whenever the surface of the medium begins to feel slightly dry to the touch. The plant is likely to suffer if you allow the potting medium to become completely dry.
Tropical Pitcher Plants are avid feeders. Provided with natural access to insects they will “feed” themselves. They love stink bugs. Even indoors they will attract and capture an occasional fly or other insect. Do not feed them meat or cheese. This will likely rot and kill the trap. If feeding is desired, drop in a few freeze dried bloodworms, dead crickets, wasps or similar insects. Fertilization is not necessary, however an occasional, summer application of orchid food, diluted 10%, will benefit growth. Nepenthes respond well to foliar fertilization.
