Nepenthes minima (Rooted Cutting)

Nepenthes minima is a miniature form of N. maxima. While it has a similar growth habit as N. maxima, its leafspan and pitchers are much smaller, with most adult pitchers approaching only 3 inches tall. This form is only found around Lake Poso in Sulawesi, where it grows mainly in grasslands. It's one of the few species of Nepenthes considered to be a pyrophite, meaning it can withstand brush fires and grow back from its roots. N. minima prefers warmer conditions than other forms of N. maxima but will happily grow in a sunny windowsill and produce and hold lots of cute little pitchers at a time.
