Default N. rafflesiana Cultivation Guide

Cultivation Guide
Cultivation ease: Easy

Temperature: Low Land Tropical (possibly intermediate condition)

Humidity: 50% to 90%

Remarks:
One of the "majestic" L/L nepenthes that is vigorous and produce enormous pitchers (giant form). N. rafflesiana is very variable especially those originated from seed. There are also many interesting form/variant for the shape and colour of the pitcher for this species. A good beginner (and for enthusiasts alike) nepenthes species to start with and once you saw the pitchers, there's no return...

Many interesting natural and man made hybrids involving N. rafflesiana can be found in cultivation and easily available on the market.
