It boasts sizable upright pitchers adorned with cherry red speckles against a yellow-green backdrop. The trap mouths are wide and oval in shape. With its parent species known for their adaptability, thriving in both open and shaded environments amid grasses and shrubs, Nepenthes x St. Gaya has the versatility to flourish in diverse settings.

    Hey, it seems that the Nepenthes will recover. Thanks for the advice. Also, I just received the new order of N. alata and N. gaya. They look fantastic. Here's a pic after I just opened the box. Thanks again. Thank you. I now realize that accidental direct sun exposure damaged the first Nepenthes. I'll definitely be buying more from you in the future and recommending you to friends.
