Description
This Nepenthes rafflesiana variety, the 'green var. squat', is notable for its compact growth habit and vibrant green pitchers. Unlike some other varieties, this one tends to stay shorter and more densely packed, making it a great option for terrariums or smaller growing spaces. The pitchers typically have a bright green color, which can intensify in brighter light. They are well-known for their insect-trapping capabilities. It prefers a humid environment and a well-draining substrate. Watering with rainwater or distilled water is recommended to avoid mineral buildup. Providing a good humidity level is essential for its health.
