Nepenthes ampullaria, is a small, low growing carnivorous tropical pitcher plant with lots of little pot shaped pitchers with narrow, backward turned lids. Traps in this clone have a nice dark red tint, and wide, prominent wings. Traps are barrel shaped and can get up to 4" in length. It is heat tolerant and does well in a window. It is quite good at catching large insects, such as: stink bugs, wasps and yellow jackets. N. ampullaria is a swamp dwelling species that grows alongside N. bicalcarata, and loves it hot and humid. It grows naturally in the shade of relatively dense, damp, woody vegetation. In cultivation it does well in moderately bright indirect light. It is a great house plant, that can be grown outdoors in the warm weather. It is excellent in the terrarium, and suitable for beginners.

Echoing what others have said about the shipping. Received my plant intact and healthy. Giving her what she needs and I already have two more pitchers on the way.

A very nice specimen. It was shipped well so it didn’t receive any damage.
