Enchanting Nepenthes ampullaria in a glass container
Nepenthes, a well-known insectivorous plant family, is said to have nearly 200 species mainly existed in Southeast Asia, and its unique shape and coloration give it a fascinating and bizarre atmosphere. There are many species suitable for glass container cultivation, and they are the plants to be enjoyed with the DOOA brand. This time, we grow Nepenthes ampullaria, which prefers moist soil and warm humidity, and Nepenthes jamban, which prefers a moist but cool environment, in Neo Grass Air. Nepenthes forms healthy insectivorous sacs in high humidity, but there is concern about wilting due to mold and stuffiness of terrestrial mosses. Here, we are using a Neo Glass Cover for Circulation Fan 40, and it becomes possible to ventilate, release excess heat, and prevent mold by operating the Circulation Fan 40 as needed. We aim to create a suitable growing environment for each speciesby changing the direction of airflow.

The ampullaria species are attractive with ground pitchers. When the growing environment is right and the plant is large enough, it will begin to produce ground insectivorous sacs.  We recommend that you thin out and remove any overcrowded or old insectivorous sacs before they are crushed.

High humidity is also important for Nepenthes jamban when forming its insectivorous sacs. While maintaining humidity, heat is exhausted by the Circulation Fan 40 to prevent excessive temperatures.
