Its small, finely formed traps offer a distinctive contrast to the heavier pitchers of many other Nepenthes species, making it an appealing subject for collectors with suitable highland growing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese plants were grown from seed by Walter van Dyk and are now seven years old. They are seed-grown individuals, rather than cuttings of a selected mother plant. Individual seedlings can differ in appearance, and pitcher colour and form also change with maturity and growing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe species has a relatively short rosette stage before developing a climbing stem and producing its characteristic upper pitchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlant Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eNepenthes dubia\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tropical carnivorous pitcher plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sumatra, Indonesia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePropagation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seed grown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant age:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seven years old as of November 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highland, with cool nights and high humidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Climbing, with delicate funnel-shaped upper pitchers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e A complimentary care card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrower:\u003c\/strong\u003e Walter van Dyk of Wallies Carnies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare Guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvide bright, filtered light, high humidity and gentle air circulation. True highland conditions, especially cool nights, are important; avoid prolonged heat and warm, stagnant enclosures. Use an open, mossy growing medium that retains moisture while draining freely. Water with rainwater, distilled water or reverse-osmosis water, keeping the medium damp without leaving the pot standing in water. Allow support and space for climbing growth, and protect the plant from harsh afternoon sun, drying winds and frost. A complimentary care card is included to guide ongoing care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/caring-for-your-carnivorous-plants\"\u003eRead our Frequently Asked Questions page here\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 1px solid #e0d9ce; border-radius: 6px; padding: 16px; margin: 24px 0; background-color: #faf8f5;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarnivorous plant care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Read our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/4-simple-rules-for-successfully-growing-carnivorous-plants\"\u003eGrowing Carnivorous Plants: A Practical Care Guide\u003c\/a\u003e for guidance on water, light, placement and seasonal care for your plant type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wallies Carnies","offers":[{"title":"Small plant in 9cm plastic pot","offer_id":68655311716658,"sku":"WC-NEP048S","price":750.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium plant in 12cm plastic pot","offer_id":68630214705458,"sku":"WC-NEP048M","price":750.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large plant in 12cm plastic pot","offer_id":68630214738226,"sku":"WC-NEP048L","price":950.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Extra large plant in hanging basket","offer_id":68655374336306,"sku":"WC-NEP048XL","price":950.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/6016\/files\/IMG_6038.jpg?v=1794581376","url":"https:\/\/www.bonsaitree.co.za\/products\/tropical-pitcher-nepenthes-dubia","provider":"Bonsai Tree (Pty) Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
