Nepenthes Burbidgeae is one of the most beautiful tropical highland pitcher plants, earning the name “the Painted Pitcher Plant”. Pitcher coloration depends on genetics, age and environment. Having a lower altitudinal range, this plant is much more tolerant of warmer temperatures than some highland species, but will not survive long if treated as a lowland plant. This species has a habit of not growing much at all for months, maybe even years, and then the leaves will suddenly triple, or even quadruple in size, and the plant is on its way. Sphagnum is the best medium.
