Nepenthes ulukaliana (Previously N. macfarlanei) (Seed Grown Species) (Shipped Bare-Root)

Nepenthes ulukaliana, long confused with the rare N. macfarlanei, hails from the misty montane forests of Peninsular Malaysia's Titiwangsa Range, thriving above 1,200 meters in cool, mossy conditions. This established seed-grown specimen carries the authentic genetics of this highland species, prized by collectors for its distinctive pitcher morphology and reliable performance in intermediate to cool cultivation.

Care Requirements

Light — Bright indirect light. Avoid intense direct midday sun.

Water — Pure water only, under 50ppm dissolved solids. Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Do not use the tray method.

Soil — Well-draining mix of live sphagnum, perlite, or coco coir. Avoid heavy peat mixes.

Temperature — Highland species: days 70–80°F, nights 45–60°F. Lowland species: warm year-round, 75–90°F. Check your specific plant's requirements.

Humidity — 70–90% preferred. A greenhouse, grow tent, or humid windowsill works well.

Dormancy — Not required. Nepenthes grow year-round with consistent conditions.
