Nepenthes ‘Rebecca Soper’ is a rare hybrid of tropical pitcher plants, known for its vibrant pink-to-red pitchers that naturally trap and digest insects. This HRP hybrid is ideal for terrariums and collectors of exotic carnivorous plants. It thrives in high humidity and indirect light and should never be fertilized.
Cultivation & Care Guide:
- Light: Bright, indirect light – avoid direct sun
- Humidity: Very high (70–90%) – daily misting recommended
- Watering: Use only distilled or RO water – tap water can harm the plant
- Soil:
- Use a sterile, low-nutrient mix of pure sphagnum moss and well-washed cocopeat
- Avoid any fertilized or compost-rich soil
- Airflow: Light air circulation or ventilation is beneficial
- Fertilization: Do not fertilize – plant derives nutrients from insect prey
- Temperature:
- Daytime: 22–28°C
- Night: 17–22°C
- Feeding: If kept in a closed setup, you may offer small prey (e.g. fruit flies) every 2–3 weeks
