Tropical Pitcher Plant ‘Lady Luck’ (Nepenthes hybrid)

I've had this plant for years now. It just keeps going all year making cool new pitchers. It was in an indoor sunroom for a while but I recently moved it to a North-facing windowsill and it is still doing well. I only water it with distilled water and put a small bug (dead) in the pitchers every once in a while. It tolerates high light but the leaves turn red, they stay green in lower light. Highly recommend!

I ordered this plant back in 2016 from Logee's and I haven't been able to edit my old review but I'm glad to report that after a few years it finally threw some pitchers forth! I just had to be patient. Only after the plant had developed some side shoots did it pitcher. It also likes morning sun. I think I didn't give it enough sun so it wasn't motivated to send out any pitchers. Currently this pitcher plant, along with five other giant pitcher plants, live outdoors hanging on my triangle palm. I live in Hawaii so there's a lot of humidity and the temps rarely dip below 54 degrees on the coldest nights. I water them every other day to daily during the summer and only every other day to two days in winter or during rainy season. I really love this specimen, it has some really nice, solid red pitchers. I wish Logee's would offer more pitcher plants!

If your plant isn't producing pitchers, then that typically means it's not getting enough light or water. They really love light, though not super intense light in desert climates like Vegas (where I grow them indoors with grow lights). The soil must also never dry out. Keep wet at all times.

Also, you can make them grow like crazy if you foliar feed them with MaxSea fertilzer. It's the only fertilzer that carnivorous plants can tolerate. Purchase some on Amazon or elsewhere, and a 1/4 of a tablespoon to a standard spray bottle filled with distilled or RO (reverse osmosis) water. Spray the leaves only. Don't let it get into the dirt or the roots will burn.

If you're growing it indoors, once pitchers form you can also put a single pellet of Osmocote a single time in each pitcher. You can also spray some of the foliar feed above into the pitchers. Just be careful not to overdo it.

Water only with distilled water or RO, especially if you live in an area with water that has high mineral content.

I got it and it's in perfect condition.

I gave this Lady Luck pitcher plant to my neighbor but it lost all its red pods. It originally came very green with a bunch of red pods ; good shape. She had it hanging in sunny location on door frame.
She later brought it back to me and hung it under my 15 foot Acerola Tree and it double in size and grew over seven red pods to eat insects without any fertilizer. It was then returned to her yard for her insect issues.

I am now waiting so I can purchase more of these for my yard. It's out of stock. Amazon has pitcher plants but not like these red beauty's . Good plant to buy.
