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.

Sent Wrong Pieces
Size: 1 Panel, Size: 1 Panel
I really, really wanted to like this - and, in theory, I really, really should have! The instructions were easy to follow and assembly took about five minutes. The assembled screen is lightweight and easy to move. It was a great size and exactly what I was looking for except....I wasn't sent the correct pieces. Instead of receiving 4 elbow pieces and 4 feet, I received 2 elbow pieces and 8 feet - meaning that the bottom part of the fabric just hangs there and, overall, the divider is extremely unstable because there is no horizontal support on the bottom. Thankfully, there are Velcro tabs on the side of the fabric so I can use it if I don't plan to move it even 1 cm, but otherwise, what I received is not usable for what I needed it for. Additionally, the fabric is made of polyester and catches animal hair very easily. Had I received the correct pieces, this would be a good buy for the money. Unfortunately, overall, I'm disappointed.

Works great, keeps the light out of my eyes and easy to put together
Size: 1 Panel, Size: 1 Panel
I got this room divider in and it works great. It’s really easy to put together you don’t even need tools. I really like that it’s not see through, it’s not a black out curtain but it keeps light out pretty good. I absolutely hate my bedroom layout there’s no bathroom door. My girlfriend and I have different work schedules so I’m trying to sleep while she’s getting ready for work and the light shines right in my eyes. This divider keeps the light out of my eyes and that’s exactly what I was hunting for. I also like that you can adjust the length. I took one of the bars out to make it a little shorter and it worked great. I would recommend this room divider.

Sturdy, Easy to Set Up, and Looks Great
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 3 Panel
I’m really happy with this RANTILA 3-panel room divider. It was simple to set up, stands securely on its own, and gives plenty of privacy. The height is perfect, and the panels look clean and modern in my space. It’s lightweight enough to move around but still feels sturdy. Overall, a great divider that works exactly as I needed.

Not 6 ft
Color: Grey, Size: 34" - 3 Panel
I bought this for filming my auditions. I am 5’4” .The height lists is 6 ft but the fabric only reaches 5’9 1/2 “! when I must film myself head to toe, the top bars are showing. It’s easy to set up. But when I film I must tilt my camera to keep the top bars out of frame which is not acceptable.

Perfect for what I needed - getting a 2nd one.
Color: Black, Size: 22" - 4 Panel
Putting it together was a BEE-OTCH!! Yes, one of the tubes had the top cap installed at the wrong end (& getting it off required tools), and yes, stretching the fabric to get the screws in was incredibly hard...but am I buying another one? YES! After all is said and done, this is a great room divider. I opted out of installing the paddle feet & it still works perfect. It won't filter light all that great and even though it stands on its own, it can be blown over easily - but for the price? Excellent. If I wanted a heavy duty, thicker, more expensive one, I would've bought one. The 2nd one is on the way. Perfect height, no weird smell, nice and light and easy to move around.
