(8 reviews)

This plant gets its name, albomarginata, from the white band that appears just beneath the lip of each pitcher. The plant produces a long vine with slender leaves from which elongated slender pitchers appear. While pitchers are commonly green, this rare variant features very dark pitchers that some growers refer to as black. Once it acclimates to its environment, this plant has proven to grow well as a regular houseplant in a very sunny windowsill with direct sunlight.

Type of Plant: Tropical pitcher plant for indoor growing.
Pitcher Size: Up to 6 inches.
Sunlight: Bright filtered to partial sun.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts dried sphagnum moss and perlite only.
Temperatures: Above 70°F during the day; 55°-70°F during the night. Always protect from frost.

    Extremely Happy With This Plant

    Posted by Haley, Brian on March 15, 2020

    The little guy was shipped to PA in mid February, but arrived safely because of the great care taken by Sarracenia Northwest to package it. Plant immediately continued to open a new leaf and is coloring up a light reddish shade under artificial lighting at 12,000 lux 14 hours per day until I can put it in a room that is being worked on to have a skylight. Very happy to have this rare black variety of nepenthes for my collection. Buy with confidence!
