Product Information

Father’s Day Gift for Mechanic, Gift for Employee, Boss Mechanic Personalized Cup, Gift for Employee of the Month, Grease Monkey, Automotive Monkey Cup plants will take many years to mature and produce a show of blooms. The typical time to develop flowers is in the spring, but may occur later in the summer months in some cases, Unfortunately, due to the unfavored growing conditions found in a domestic setting, most Monkey Cup Plants won't flower in their lifetimes. Pitchers are created by the swelling of the mid-vein in the leaf. This forms a hollow cup filled with fluid at the bottom. Insects are attracted to this cup as a result of the beautiful colors and the nectar it secretes. STAYS COLD. With double-wall vacuum insulation, Meoky coffee tumbler stays cold for 24 hours and hot for 8 hours.

PMID 23264234. Keep the plant outside once the nighttime temperatures are above 10⁰C (50⁰F) so that it can catch its own prey. There's nothing better for a carnivorous plant than to allow it to breathe, digest, and photosynthesise in the fresh outdoors without human intervention. Although found throughout a wide range in South-East Asia, Nepenthes grow in very similar habitats.Throughout their natural range,Nepenthes experience very little seasonal variation in their specific locations. Due to their privileged position on and around the equator,Nepenthes experienceverylittle seasonal variation indaylength,sunlightand rainfall.Daylengthin this part of theEarthis approximately 12 hours all year-round. Similarly, the sun’s rays always shine downhighfromthe sky, with a strong UV index all-year round.Equally, rainfall is always high, with daily showers being the norm.So with such little seasonal variation,what divides Nepenthes into different categories I hear you ask? Well, it is the altitude and corresponding temperature at which they grow at. Mithöfer, Axel (2011-09-01). "Carnivorous pitcher plants: Insights in an old topic". Phytochemistry. Plant-Insect Interactions. 72 (13): 1678–1682. doi: 10.1016/j.phytochem.2010.11.024. PMID 21185041. The root draws up moisture from the earth which with the help of the sun's rays rises up into the plant itself and then flows down through the stems and nerves of the leaves into the natural utensil to be stored there until used for human needs.

Nepenthes - the Monkey Cups

Highland’ Nepenthes may be grown at lower temperatures of around 21c during the day. Unlike their ‘lowland’ cousins, they appreciate the drop in night temperature to lows of 10c – 12c. These night time drops slow down their metabolism at night, which they need for healthy and vigorous growth. The ambient humidity should again be kept at least 60% but ideally higher. Every calorie counts to those obsessed with losing weight and keeping fit. A well-balanced diet and regular exercise are...

The two most popular Nepenthes species sold indoors, N. alata and N. ventrata , have natural distributions to the Philippines , and were first described by Francisco Manuel Blanco in 1837 . The origins of its name, Nepenthes, could either refer to the Latin word for 'rare' (nepenth) or from the Ancient Greek word for 'grief' or 'pain', that may refer to the fate of its victimised insects.

PMID 15035659. Nepenthes may be cultivated in greenhouses. Easier species include N.alata, N.ventricosa, N.khasiana, and N.sanguinea. These four species are highlanders ( N.alata has both lowland and highland forms), some easy lowlander species are N.rafflesiana, N.bicalcarata, N.mirabilis, and N.hirsuta. [56]

They are called monkey cups because monkeys are fond of drinking the liquid in the cups. Scientific name The genus Nepenthes is mostly found within the Malay Archipelago, with the greatest biodiversity found on Borneo, Sumatra, and the Philippines, [28] [29] especially in the Borneo montane rain forests. The full range of the genus includes Madagascar ( N.madagascariensis and N.masoalensis), the Seychelles ( N.pervillei), Sri Lanka ( N.distillatoria), and India ( N.khasiana) in the west to Australia ( N.mirabilis, N.rowanae, N.parvula, and N.tenax) and New Caledonia ( N.vieillardii) in the southeast. Most species are restricted to very small ranges, including some found only on individual mountains. These limited distributions and the inaccessibility of the regions often means some species go decades without being rediscovered in the wild (e.g. N.deaniana, which was rediscovered 100 years after its initial discovery). About 10 species have population distributions larger than a single island or group of smaller islands. Nepenthes mirabilis has the distinction of being the most widely distributed species in the genus, ranging from Indochina and throughout the Malay Archipelago to Australia.

Many growers have had success growing ‘lowland’ Nepenthes in heated greenhouses, conservatories, terrariums or even warm bathrooms. Nevertheless, these conditions, although not impossible, are not always readily providable in the average UK home. This is where we can look at the second category of Nepenthes.
