All the Details You Need to Know
The Story Behind This Plant
The **Nepenthes Sanguinea**, often referred to as the **Bloody Pitcher Plant**, is a species of tropical pitcher plant native to the Malay Peninsula and Borneo. It typically grows in highland areas, adapted to moist, cool conditions. Its name, "Sanguinea," is Latin for "blood-red," a nod to the striking coloration of its pitchers. These specialized leaves are not only visually spectacular but are ingeniously designed to produce nectar and slippery surfaces to attract and capture insects, providing the plant with essential nutrients in its nutrient-poor native soil.
How to Keep It Happy
Caring for your Nepenthes Sanguinea involves recreating a humid, consistent environment. Here are some tips to help it flourish:
- **Light:** Prefers bright, indirect light. A few hours of direct morning sun can be beneficial, but avoid harsh afternoon sun which can scorch the leaves and pitchers.
- **Water:** Keep the potting medium consistently moist but never waterlogged. Use distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water; tap water minerals can harm it. Do not let it dry out completely.
- **Humidity:** High humidity (60-80%+) is crucial for pitcher development. A humidifier, a terrarium, or frequent misting will be highly appreciated.
- **Soil:** Use a very well-draining, airy, and low-nutrient substrate. A mix of sphagnum moss, perlite, and orchid bark is often ideal. Do NOT use regular potting soil.
- **Temperature:** Prefers warm days (70-85°F / 21-29°C) and slightly cooler nights (55-65°F / 13-18°C) to encourage robust pitcher growth.
- **Feeding:** No need for traditional fertilizer. The plant gets its nutrients from captured insects. If kept indoors with few bugs, you can occasionally drop a few small dried insects (like fish food flakes) into the pitchers, or use a very diluted foliar spray.
What to Do About Pests
Nepenthes are generally resilient, but like all plants, can sometimes encounter pests. Maintaining good humidity helps deter many common issues.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?
When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!
MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.
Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.
No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
