Nepenthes Lowii Trusmadi 🌱 Fresh New Harvested Seeds ~ Tropical Pitcher Plant ⭐

Description: Nepenthes TrusmadiLowii 10 seeds Nepenthes Lowii is a unique species of tropical pitcher plant renowned for its unusual upper pitchers that resemble and function like toilets for certain animals. Discovered by Hugh Low in 1851 on Mt. Kinabalu, this species was formally described by Joseph Dalton Hooker in 1859. The plant is a climber, with stems reaching up to 33 feet (10 meters) in length. Its lower pitchers are about 4 inches tall, cylindrical, and reddish-brown, while the upper pitchers are more distinctive, with a wide, oblong mouth and a bulbous digestive zone. These upper pitchers have a glossy purple-red interior and a light green exterior, and they can grow to about a foot in height. Nepenthes Lowii has evolved a fascinating ecological relationship with tree shrews and birds. It secretes a white substance on the underside of its lid, which attracts these animals. While feeding on the secretion, the animals defecate into the pitcher, providing the plant with nitrogen-rich nutrients. This adaptation has led to the plant being humorously referred to as a "crapivorous" plant Growing Nepenthes from seed yields greater variations and breeding opportunities Germination Instructions: Sow seeds a top Pure 50/50 Peat-Perlite or Pure Sphagnum Peat Natural Fiber - No Fertilizer Soil.
