    Nepenthes Gaya

    The plant arrived well packed and in good shape, despite going to a PO Box and sitting there several days. It has just kept growing, with new pitchers appearing and I love it. The trick will be keeping it going all winter. Very happy.

    Pitchers and more Pitchers

    Posted by Nadia on June 12, 2021

    I honestly thought this plant wasn't going to do much. I was preparing myself for the worse. But with a little attention its started to give me more and more pitchers leaves look healthy too.

    Beautiful plant

    Love the shape and coloration. Came with two developed pitchers that took a dent out of the late spring gnat invasion in my bathroom. Seems to be adjusting well, although the new leaves are coming in red. Maybe it’s getting too much sun?

    They arrived in pristine condition with 2 pitchers that caught flies within the first 36 hours. I've had them for a month and there's already new pitchers forming. I can't recommend this farm highly enough
