Nepenthes Sanguinea

''Nepenthes sanguinea'' (; from Latin ''sanguineus'' "blood red") is a large and vigorous ''Nepenthes'' pitcher plant species, native to Peninsular Malaysia and southernmost Thailand, where it grows at 300–1800 metres (1000 to 6000 feet) altitude.McPherson, S.R. 2009. ''Pitcher Plants of the Old World''. 2 volumes. Redfern Natural History Productions, Poole. Catalano, M. 2010. '' Nepenthes della Thailandia: Diario di viaggio''. Prague. The pitchers are variable in size, from 10–30 cm (4 to 12 inches) tall, and range from green and yellow to orange and red. The insides of the pitchers are usually speckled with its two main colors. It was introduced to Victorian Britain around 1847 by Cornish plant hunter and botanist Thomas Lobb via the Veitch Nurseries.

Cultivation

This highland pitcher plant can be grown on a windowsill or in partly shaded areas outside, as well as in a terrarium, provided that it is large enough to accommodate this ''Nepenthes''.
