Details
The Monkey Jar is a standout carnivorous plant prized for its beautifully mottled, tubular pitchers that trap and digest insects. This hybrid variety brings exotic flair and natural pest control to terrariums, greenhouses, or humid rooms.
It thrives in bright, indirect light with consistently high humidity and moist, well‐draining soil. Avoid letting the roots dry out completely, and never use tap water—rainwater or distilled water is ideal. A must‐have for tropical plant lovers, *Nepenthes* 'Gaya' is both fascinating and functional.
