Carnivorous plant - Nepenthes macfarlaneisupplied in an in vitro cupdemandingPots up to 15cm tall - climbing plant up to 4 meters highBright spot without direct sunlightHumidity: 70-90%Temperature: 20-30 °C during the day and 15-20 °C at nightNepenthes macfarlanei, also known as Macfarlane's pitcher plant, is a tropical insectivorous plant that is native to the mountainous regions of Malaysia, particularly the Malay Peninsula. The plant is characterized by the fact that it produces trap-like pitchers that are used to catch and digest insects. The pitchers are green, often with red or purple spots, and can reach a length of up to 15 cm. The pitcher has a lid on top to prevent rain from entering the trap.Nepenthes macfarlanei is a demanding plant, especially in terms of humidity and water quality. It is ideal for growing in terrariums or special greenhouses for tropical plants.size: The slow-growing plant climbs over 4 meters high, forms leaves usually 8 cm apart and has a fairly thick trunk Light: Nepenthes macfarlanei prefers bright, diffuse light. It grows best in partial shade, where it is protected from direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.Substrate: The best substrate for this plant is a mixture of sphagnum peat, perlite and pine bark in a ratio of 2:1:1. The substrate should be well-drained and slightly acidic (pH 4.5-5.5).Nepenthes macfarlanei needs to be watered regularly to keep the substrate constantly moist, but not wet. It is best to use distilled water or rainwater, as the plant is sensitive to the mineral salts tothe mineral salts contained in tap water. Feeding/ fertilizing: Pitcher plants generally do not require additional fertilization as they absorb nutrients from the insects they catch. At home, a very diluted plant fertilizer can occasionally be added to the watering water.Humidity: High humidity is crucial for the proper development of Nepenthes macfarlanei. The humidity should be between 70 % and 90 %. Regular spraying and the use of foggers is recommended.In the home, this plant thrives best in the bathroom if it is showered daily. Temperature: This plant thrives well in moderate to warm temperatures. The optimum range is 20-30 °C during the day and 15-20 °C at night. Large temperature fluctuations should be avoided. Propagation: The plant propagates by seed. In cultivation, this also works with cuttings.The combination of carnivorous plants with reptiles reptiles in a terrarium can create an aesthetically pleasing and ecologically interesting environment.

Carnivorous plant - Drosera proliferasupplied in an in vitro cupThe diameter of the individual leaves is up to 3 cmOnly indirect or low light - otherwise the leaves may burnHumidity: 70-90 %Temperature: 20-28 °C during the day and 15-20 °C at night.Can flower all year roundDrosera prolifera, also known as overgrown sundew, is an extremely interesting insectivorous plant native to Queensland, Australia. This perennial plant is characterized by creeping or drooping stems that can grow up to 30 cm long. The leaves are round or heart-shaped, up to 3 cm in diameter and covered with numerous sticky hairs (tentacles) that secrete a sweet substance to attract insects. Drosera prolifera is able to reproduce quickly by forming new plants at the ends of its shoots, making itan ideal choice for lovers of insectivorous plants who have conditions that ensure high humidity. Due to its requirements, it is well suited for terrarium cultivation. The plant reproduces quickly, making it an interesting and dynamic part of an insectivorous plant collection.Size: The individual leaves can reach a diameter of up to 3 cm. The main stem is 1-2cm high and the leaves are distributed in a rosette-like form. One stem forms about 15 leaves. Flowers: The plant can flower all year round. The up to four inflorescences are about 10-18 cm high and bear 4-8 flowerslight: Drosera prolifera prefers dim or diffuse light. In the wild, it grows in dense rainforests, so direct sunlight should be avoided as this can burn the leaves. Substrate: The best substrate for Drosera prolifera is a mixture of sphagnum peat and perlite or sand in a 1:1 ratio. The substrate should be acidic (pH 4.5-5.5) and well-drained.The climbing sundew requires constant moisture in the substrate. It is best watered with distilled, demineralized or rainwater, although tap water should be avoided. The substrate should be moist but not flooded. Feeding/ fertilizing: Sedums generally do not require additional fertilization as they absorb nutrients from the insects they catch. Occasionally you can feed the plant with small insects such as fruit flies.Humidity: This plant requires high humidity, ideally 70-90%. It is ideal for growing in terrariums or closed containers such as the Wabi-Kusa jars to provide the right humidity. Temperature: Climbing sundew grows best in moderate to warm temperatures. The optimum is 20-28 °C during the day and 15-20 °C at night. It is sensitive to low temperatures.Propagation: Leaves that touch the ground from the plant form new plants, so-called sprouts. However, the plant also reproduces via side shoots.The combination of carnivorous plants with reptiles reptiles in a terrarium can create an aesthetically pleasing and ecologically interesting environment.
