The Nepenthes Pitcher Plant, also known as the Monkey Cup Plant, is an exotic, tropical carnivorous plant that develops unique hanging pitcher traps to capture and digest insects. These elegant and colorful pitchers produce sweet nectar that lures in prey, making it a natural pest controller while adding a stunning visual appeal to any indoor or greenhouse setup.

Nepenthes thrive in high-humidity environments and make excellent additions to terrariums, paludariums, and greenhouse setups. Their ability to absorb moisture from the air makes them a fantastic choice for enclosed tropical displays. Pre-potted in a 2" Plastic Pot, this low-maintenance carnivorous plant is a fascinating addition to any plant collection.


Features We Love:

  • Exotic, Hanging Pitchers: Beautiful, vase-shaped traps dangle from tendrils, perfect for unique displays.
  • Natural Pest Control: Attracts and digests insects, reducing flies, gnats, and other pests naturally.
  • Terrarium & Paludarium Friendly: Thrives in humid, enclosed environments with proper air circulation.
  • Perfect for Indoor Growing: Can thrive in warm, humid conditions with bright, indirect light.
  • Diverse and Unique Species: Different varieties produce pitchers in shades of red, green, or even speckled patterns.

Care Guidelines:

  • Light: Bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight; avoid direct afternoon sun.
  • Water: Use only distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water—never tap water. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.
  • Temperature: 65° - 85° F (18° - 29° C); prefers warm, humid environments.
  • Humidity: Requires high humidity (60-80%); mist regularly or grow in a terrarium/paludarium/greenhouse setup.
  • Growth Rate: Moderate to fast; pitchers can grow for months before needing replacement.
  • Feeding: If grown indoors, occasionally provide small insects like fruit flies or freeze-dried bugs—never feed meat or human food.

Perfect for Terrariums & Paludariums!

The Nepenthes Pitcher Plant is an excellent choice for rainforest-style terrariums and tropical paludariums. Its ability to absorb moisture from the air and thrive in warm, humid conditions makes it a natural fit for bioactive enclosures. Pair it with mosses, ferns, and creeping vines for a lush, exotic look, and provide perches or hanging spots to allow the pitchers to develop freely.

Best Tank Mates for a Bioactive Setup:
Dart Frogs & Tree Frogs – Safe in a tropical, misted terrarium.
Geckos – Great for humid enclosures like Crested Gecko setups.
Small Invertebrates – Thrives with springtails and isopods in bioactive setups.
Not Recommended for Tanks with Herbivorous Reptiles – May get damaged by heavy foraging animals.


Pro Tips:

  • Watering Method: Keep soil consistently moist but avoid standing water in the pot.
  • Soil Mix: Prefers a well-draining, nutrient-poor mix like sphagnum moss and perlite.
  • Air Circulation: Good airflow prevents mold and helps maintain pitcher production.
  • Encourage Pitchers: Regular misting and stable humidity help maintain healthy pitcher growth.
  • Placement: Ideal for hanging baskets, terrarium perches, or attached to driftwood in a paludarium.

If you like your pillows plump, these won't do it.
Size: 20 x 20 inches, Style: 4 Pack
Disappointed in this item. they do not have enough filling in them and what is there flattens out very quickly. Will not purchase this brand again.

Hands down best hammock accessory
Color: Green, Size: Medium
Tried many, this pillow is perfect. Not too big, not too small. Soft yet supportive. It’s also well made and super comfy. Plus it packs up nicely. I’m a new Wise Owl convert, everything I’ve ordered so far has been excellent quality. Just wish they kept the colors consistent so it all matched (minor annoyance). You need this.

Comfy, soft, packable, and cool
Color: Green, Size: Small
I absolutely love this pillow. It's well constructed but not OVER constructed - it is soft, comfortable to my neck and head - very packable and stays pretty cool - like the 'other side' of the pillow. I also appreciate the stuff sack that Wise Owl sends with it. I was able to get this down into my right side of my Redwing 50 pocket. This thing fits everywhere and while some folks think its a luxury, when you get to be my age - comfort is something that you take for granted. I feel well rested after a night on this bad boy. Shape always fluffs back out. I think it's a great value at the price point it is at compared to other pillows in this range. Very very durable, like all Wise Owl products I own. Easily fits snugly into the bag, and can mold around you depending on how you want to adjust it. I don't use a sleeping pad, just this for my neck support and it really is worth every penny. Water resistance - I'm not sure as I've not had the opportunity to see it but I feel like with the material it is, water would probably bead off in light amounts.

It's comfy but not UL nor packs down well.
Color: Blue, Size: Medium
Don't get me wrong, overall this is a very good mini portable camping pillow that has slightly bigger length, width & thickness than most of the other name brand inflatable camping pillows that cost $20 extra, which is nice for having more pillow/support to work with while you sleep, & it being foam filled rather than inflated means you don't have to worry about it deflating on you overnight out in the wilderness where you likely don't have a backup!.. All that is great until it's time to pack it back up.. It doesn't compact down small, nor easily. You have to put a little elbow grease into tightly rolling it up like a burrito, 🌯 And even Then, it's still a bit of a fight to squeeze it back into it's compression sack, but Still winds up being a bulky bulgy chunk of space real estate in my pack, and if you're a serious hiker you know every ounce counts as well as every inch of space that's taken up by bulky gear. I didn't consider returning or replacing it for something else until wayy past the return window. Again, it's not bad at all for your average travel or weekend camping trips, but for expedition, section or thru-hiking it's not the best choice to go with when budgeting weight & space in your pack. I went with a similarly priced Teton camping pillow that is 18" by 12", also filled not inflated so it's basically the same thing but ever so slightly smaller in circumference, yet packs down noticably easier & more compact, weighing slightly less & taking up noticably less space in your pace as well. I can easily stuff it in the outer back kangaroo pouch on my Osprey Atmos AG 50L.
