We love it for its intriguing appearance. Its insect traps can be found at the end of its long green leaves. The trap is formed from a leaf that flattens and swells as it grows to form a magnificent urn. The Gaya variety has variegated, almost striped, colored urns. A carnivorous plant with many qualities. Indeed, most carnivorous plants require special attention. However, the Nepenthes does not need a dormancy period, nor does it need to be watered with demineralized water.
