Nepenthes Alata (Tropical Pitcher Plant)

Show off one of the easiest and most stunning carnivorous plants you can grow! Nepenthes × ‘Agnata’ forms elegant, colorful pitchers designed to naturally attract and digest insects—no fertilizer needed, just a little humidity and bright light. Perfect for kitchens, patios, bathrooms, or any space where you want something a little wild and wonderfully weird.

This vigorous hybrid produces lush, trailing vines and eye-catching pitchers with deep hues and sculpted peristomes (the ribbed “lip”). It thrives in a hanging basket, letting its pitchers spill over like a living work of art.
