Nepenthes rafflesiana

Nepenthes rafflesiana is a lowland species of tropical pitcher plant from Southeast Asia, mainly found in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. There are a variety of forms from the more common to giant types. In situ, rafflesiana can be found growing in peat swamps and open forests where it can climb well over 20 feet into the tree tops. Although it felt like I was going to bake admiring them in the wild, we keep our plants around 84-88F in the day with nights never below 60. We find they are more forgiving of cooler temps than the other lowlanders we grow here. Mix this with bright shade and 80% humidity, and they seem to thrive. Mixtures of peat and perlite or sphagnum work well at a potting medium for us.

Really nice to wake up and watch your video with coffee, looking forward to the lowland tour.

[@liamscarnivorousplants69]

Rafflesiana is one of my favourite sp! Glad you coverd them

[@redleafexotics4722]

You’re welcome:)

[@ScaryFear]

I like these. I have a few types too. I have one I bought years ago listed as squat dark. Looks like a frog with an open mouth. I recently had to cut it back to the basal.

[@acousticanimal5514]

Yes! More Lowland plants, awesome! They are so underrated!

[@TheOldestSoul]

I really like the raff. I have a Suki that is a raff hybrid and it started throwing these HUGE winged pitchers over this past year and I'm digging the hell out of it! I love how the peristome is tall and toothy and I love that little dip at the tip of the lid. My Suki is definitely one of my favs

[@youdabuddha7468]

Eight trillion & one-th . Thank y'all for this video !

[@OmaeWaMoShindeiRYU]

My densiflora x rafflesiana is probably one of my favorite nepenthes i own

[@masonlexioneill2386]

So beautiful! I love the flat part on the uppers peristome

[@TripleJAquatics]

The more I watch your vids the more I want to start a greenhouse lol full of carnivores of coarse!

[@Wattheheeelll]

Yes, Rafflesiana. I love the wing variant lol.

[@Dan-ty7cb]

Great video! Would you be able to do a video dedicated to plants you believe to be great in windowsills? Thank you!

[@brianwhite4098]

Or at least a small terrarium in the windowsill

[@Liljon1983]

Great plant

[@guillettoaparicio13]

Hi Dominic! as always, an excellent video! Great in recording terms as in theory concepts! Indeed, I got a Wistuba’s Baku form, which it seems to have a unusual lid. Have you ever seen it?

[@acousticanimal5514]

I have the Baku Form as well. Quite squat pitchers with a nice winged tendril!

[@tironjr]

I love the Seedgrown redish Rafflesiana😍

[@robpile100]

Beautiful plants

[@sakp2341]

Algun dia podrias hacer videos con subtitutulos en español? 🙊 me encantan tus videos 😍

[@DeaDiabola]

Wowww, coloration is the same as one of my Oma's favorite orchids! Question, with one of my nerpenthes of a similar type, the leaves are turning a sort of muddy color, maybe a purpleish brown? I live in CA where it's warm af, I use a humidifier, spray daily, only ro or distilled water, etc. I also use artificial grow lights. They don't seem otherwise bothered, so maybe an acclimation thing?

[@zonh4528]

I love your t-shirt…

[@theelitistjerkmetalhead8047]

I've always wanted to grow N. rafflesiana but I never had a good lowland setup for one.

[@berd802]

First

[@AlePlants_PlantasCarnivoras]

Saca un video sobre las características de la nepenthes maxima

[@vsocarras27]

Speaking about key west Florida I live in Miami Florida only about 300 or so miles away pretty much next door he's right it can get really humidity and hot very much a tropical climate

[@vacciniumaugustifolium1420]

A video about one of those : Rajah, merilliana, palawanensis or Attenboroughii would be greatly appreciated!

[@williamkrut91]

How many inches tall have the Nepenthes rafflesiana- Brunei gotten? There are no bananas in the video, so it was hard to tell.

[@EVHworldwide]

I like edinenesis since it's basically just a fancy rafflesiana

[@LisaHall-cu7ww]

Please buy a Nepenthes clipeata and make a video about it

[@uriahlegutki2257]

Do you think I could grow one of these in a highland climate?

[@davelindstrom4008]

Great vid where is Jerry thats his greenhouse he should at least make a cameo Haha neps4ever

[@jarnevinke4014]

can you grow them on the windowsill

[@ItsRyanHello]

2:43 I did NOT think he was going to say venus fly trap lmfao

[@redleafexotics4722]

😆

[@tilapse4944]

Please tell me what this plant does?

[@user-er3xm8pr1g]

Is there any difference between giant Raffles Nepenthes and ordinary Raffles Nepenthes in terms of size? I have always wanted to raise a giant Raffles Nepenthes.

[@johntan9209]

Do u sell Nepenthes Rafflesiana seeds to overseas

[@gohzeyou6742]
