Collection: Nepenthes Pitcher Plant For Sale

Grown in Colorado Since 1996

Nepenthes, Tropical Pitcher Plants

Nepenthes are some of the most extraordinary carnivorous plants on earth. Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, Borneo, and the Philippines, these vining pitcher plants produce elaborate, fluid filled traps that are as functional as they are visually stunning.

Plants, Seed & Pollen

This is everything Nepenthes in one place: live plants, seed, and fresh pollen. Browse the full mix below, or use the categories above to narrow it down to exactly what you're after.

I've grown Nepenthes for over 30 years and have been creating original hybrids for more than 20 of them. In 2006 I produced Nepenthes 'Leviathan', a cross between Nepenthes rajah and Nepenthes peltata bred here in Colorado. In 2019 a specimen of Leviathan sold for $4,500, setting a Guinness World Record for the most expensive carnivorous plant ever sold. That record is a reflection of what's possible when you combine serious genetics with decades of cultivation knowledge.

What draws me to Nepenthes is the same thing that makes them hard to forget: they respond. Get the humidity right, dial in the light, match the temperature to the species, and they reward you with pitchers that look like they belong in a different world entirely. Get it wrong and they'll tell you that too.

Live plants here include highland, intermediate, and lowland Nepenthes species and hybrids, from beginner friendly varieties to rare collector specimens and rooted cuttings of species you won't find anywhere else. If you'd rather grow from scratch, you'll also find fresh seed and pollen mixed right in with the plants.
