Nepenthes 'St. Gaya' is a popular hybrid pitcher plant known for its attractive, colorful pitchers and relatively easy care. It's a good choice for both beginners and experienced carnivorous plant enthusiasts. It's a hybrid of Nepenthes khasiana x (ventricosa x maxima).
Key features and care:
-
Pitchers:
'St. Gaya' is known for its vibrant green and red patterned pitchers that lure and trap insects.
-
Light:
Bright, indirect light is best, avoiding harsh direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves.
-
Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use distilled, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water to avoid mineral buildup.
-
Humidity:
Prefers moderate to high humidity, which can be achieved with a humidity tray or regular misting.
-
Temperature:
Ideal temperature range is 70-80°F (21-27°C), but it can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures. Avoid temperatures below 10°C.
-
Potting Mix:
Use a well-draining, acidic mix, such as a combination of sphagnum moss, perlite, and orchid bark.
-
Feeding:
While not essential, supplementing with occasional bloodworms or mealworms can be beneficial.
Additional notes:
- 'St. Gaya' is a relatively vigorous grower and can tolerate a range of conditions.
- It's known to be a good option for indoor cultivation, terrariums, or greenhouse settings.
