Nepenthes 'Bill'
Nepenthes ‘Bill’ is a bold and charismatic carnivorous houseplant producing striking pitchers in rich sunset tones of ruby and lime. Suspended from elegant tendrils, the traps hang beneath lush green foliage, creating a dramatic, sculptural display that brings a touch of the rainforest indoors.
Perfect for bright, humid indoor spaces, it works beautifully in hanging pots or elevated displays where the colourful pitchers can cascade freely. Its exotic appearance combined with relatively easy care makes it an eye-catching feature for homes, conservatories or plant collections.

Nepenthes Plant Care
Watering
Keep the Nepenthes soil continually moist. This can be done by placing a waterfilled dish under the plant. It is a myth that the pitchers of the Nepenthes need to be refilled regularly. The plant does this on its own.
However, it is possible that the pitchers lose their moisture during transport. Larger plants are often transported with the pitchers upside down. In that case, the pitchers can be refilled once(!) to a quarter with rainwater to prevent the traps from drying out.
Location
In general, the Nepenthes needs a humid location. However, the Nepenthes Bloody Mary is a lot less picky and does well in almost every living room.
The plants do need light, but no direct full sun. We also recommend keeping the plant inside.
Fertilizer
We do not recommend to give these plants fertilizer.
