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. 
  • Some online retailers say it's one of the easiest Nepenthes to grow.
