🌱 Nature’s own bug trap, effective and fascinating to watch
🌱 Adds a touch of the tropics (and drama) to any plant collection

💡 Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Some gentle morning or evening sun helps enhance pitcher colour, but avoid harsh midday rays.

💧 Water: Keep the soil consistently damp using rainwater, distilled, or filtered water. Never let it dry out completely, and avoid using tap water.

🌱 Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60–80%) but adapts to average indoor levels if kept evenly moist. Hanging it near other plants or a humidifier helps keep it happy.

🌡️ Temperature: Loves warm conditions between 18-28 °C. Protect from cold draughts or sudden chills.

🚫 Toxicity: Non toxic, safe for pets and people, though insects should beware! 🪰

🌿 Top Tip: Don’t fertilise! Let the pitchers do what they do best. If kept indoors, you can pop the occasional insect or fish food pellet into a pitcher to keep your Rebecca Soper thriving.
