Miranda Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes Miranda)

A dramatic carnivorous beauty with trumpet-shaped pitcher traps that lure and digest insects — fascinating, functional, and surprisingly easy to keep.

The Miranda Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes Miranda) is one of the most visually striking carnivorous plants available. Its dramatic, trumpet-shaped pitchers dangle from the leaf tips, luring insects with nectar and trapping them inside. No regular feeding needed — it catches its own gnats and flies naturally. Thrives in humid environments with bright light and distilled or rainwater only. Available in a 2" nursery pot, Amelia Porcelain Hanging Planter (4"), or Olympia Ceramic Marble Planter (3.5").

What I love about it

The Miranda is the carnivorous plant that looks like it belongs in a rainforest — and in a way, it does. The pitcher traps are genuinely beautiful: deep green with burgundy veining, dangling from the leaf tips like little lanterns. It's a plant that makes people stop and look, and then ask questions. Great for terrariums, windowsills, or as a hanging display in the Amelia Porcelain Planter. The care is specific but not difficult: distilled water, sphagnum moss, bright light, and humidity.

Plant Care Tips

• ☀️ Light: Bright indirect to bright direct; fluorescent grow lights work well indoors
• 💧 Water: Distilled or rainwater only — tap water minerals will damage the plant
• 🧪 Soil: Sphagnum moss only — never regular potting mix
• 🦍 Feeding: No need to feed — catches its own gnats and flies naturally
• 💧 Humidity: Loves high humidity — mist regularly or keep in a humid spot
• 🐾 Pet Safety: Non-toxic to cats and dogs
