Nepenthes flava (Rooted Cutting)
This plant is closely related to N. jamban. It has squat pitchers that rarely grow larger than 4 inches. The plant produces long rambling vines, and many growers have been successful growing this plant like a houseplant. However, the plant appreciates mild days (upper 70s) and cool nights (upper 50s to the low 60s). You'll see it produce more pitchers in fall and winter than in summer. Give this plant very bright filtered sunlight.
Type of Plant: Tropical pitcher plant for windowsill growing.
Pitcher Size Up to 4 inches.
Sunlight: Bright filtered to partial sun.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts dried sphagnum moss and perlite.
Temperatures: Above 70°F during the day. Nighttime temperature of 50°-60°F is highly recommended for optimal growth. Always protect from frost.
