Tips for successful growing of your Climbing Pitcher Plants

Climbing Pitcher Plants enjoy similar growing conditions to ferns and orchids. They can be grown indoors or outdoors in a sheltered, semi-shaded position receiving 50-80% shade or morning sun. Climbing Pitcher Plants are FROST TENDER.

Climbing Pitcher Plants must be kept moist at all times and must have good drainage as they do not like to sit in water.

If possible, water the plant with rain water although tap water is acceptable.

Flowers appear throughout the year and have little aesthetic appeal.

If you wish to repot your plant, you must use a well drained potting mix such as a Cymbidium Orchid mix. The best time to repot is in Spring or Summer.

Climbing Pitcher Plants’ older leaves will gradually die back from the trap to the stem. These should be pruned back to the stem regularly to keep the plant tidy. Also cutting off the growing tip of the plant will keep it more compact.

If your plant is in a position that it cannot catch insects you may use fertiliser at ¼ strength.

Enjoy your plant!

Moisture Matic for pot plants

Moisture Matic uses a Spongwick to transfer the water from the container to the potting mix. When the potting mix is moist the Spongwick automatically reduces the water flow. Keeps pots moist for one week or longer, great for low maintenance gardening and  when you go away on holiday.
