Nepenthes

Nepenthes 

Nepenthes or Monkey cup is the only predatory representative of its kind. The name of this plant was given by the Swedish physician Karl Linnaeus. Nepenthes comes from ancient Greek and means "without sorrow." This amazing predator native to Asia is also found on the islands of the Pacific basin.

Nepenthes grows in the form of shrubs or vines from thin and herbaceous stems that lignify over the years. At home, the bush of Nepenthes does not exceed 50-60 centimetres in height. On fresh branches petiolate leaves of bright green colour sprout, often they are oval in shape with a pointed end and smooth edges.

Nepenthes belongs to insectivorous plants, so not every representative of the species is suitable for artifitial cultivation. Our store offers to buy Nepenthes in wholesale from the Netherlands, specially developed for cultivation in the garden or indoors.

For catching insects, the plant develops special water lilies filled with a viscous liquid. Antennas appear on the edge of the leaves, on which cups of 10-30 centimetres in size are formed. On top the cup is surrounded by a glossy border to attract insects. Since the surface is slippery, every insect that appears in this part of the plant falls into the trap and slides inside the cup. Inside the plant there is always water that Nepenthes produces itself. If the water spilled out of negligence, it must be added to the required moisture regime.

The popularity of Nepenthes in the CIS market is rather low, due to the complexity of plant care. Gardeners use the Monkey cup to create a unique, exotic design, so the wholesale price of Nepenthes from the Netherlands pays off.
