| N. sanguinea lower pitcher |
| Highly variable in color, N. sanguinea can be one of the most beautiful of all nepenthes. The variety pictured is one of our favorite clones. Growth of this species can be quite dramatic -- we have had specimens increase nearly six-fold in size in under a year. Cuttings are easy to root. |
