Nepenthes maxima -lumut is a tropical carnivorous plant native to the Indonesian islands, particularly Sulawesi and surrounding regions. It thrives in humid, warm environments with bright, indirect light. This medium-sized pitcher plant prefers well-draining, acidic soil rich in organic matter, mimicking its natural mossy habitat. Keep the substrate consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain high humidity levels around 60-80%. Regular feeding with insects supports healthy pitcher development. Optimal temperatures range from 70°F to 85°F (21°C to 29°C) during the day and can drop slightly at night. Proper ventilation is essential to prevent mold and fungal issues.
