Pitcher Plant - Nepenthes Alata 6"
Nepenthes Alata also known as 'Tropical Pitcher Plant', is a fascinating and exotic carnivorous plant that captures and digests insects using its signature pitcher-shaped traps. These graceful pitchers hang from the tips of long, green leaves and are often flushed with red, burgundy, or bronze tones - both beautiful and functional.
