Well developed medium sized plants with a leafspan of 4-6 inches. Most starting to produce larger, well-developed pitchers. Nepenthes talangensis is a highland plant native to Sumatra. This is an easy, slow to moderate grower. Your Nepenthes talangensis will be shipped bare-root, with damp sphagnum moss to protect the roots.
Cultivation
As is true of other highland Nepenthes species, N. talangensis prefers a well-drained media, which usually includes a generous portion of long-fiber Sphagnum moss. Other soil ingredients may include peat moss, washed sand, horticultural charcoal, orchid bark and Osmunda fiber. Water as the surface of the soil just begins to get dry. Never let it sit in water. Highland Nepenthes require cool nights to grow well and form pitchers. They like to be kept humid. In general, night temperatures should drop below 60F nightly. Given cool nights, warm days well into the 80s or 90s are tolerated.
