Nepenthes ‘Gaya’ — Tropical carnivorous plant
🌞 Bright light without direct sun • 💧 Moist substrate • 🪴 Moderate care • 🪰 Hanging carnivorous plant
The Nepenthes ‘Gaya’ is a tropical hybrid variety resulting from the cross between Nepenthes khasiana and Nepenthes ventricosa. It charms with its elongated pitchers in warm shades of red and green, which naturally capture insects and give a unique exotic look to your space.
Delivered in Ø12 cm for an approximate height of 17 cm, this compact Nepenthes easily adapts to indoor bright culture or a temperate greenhouse. Hanging or placed high, it attracts all eyes.
Exposure & location
The Nepenthes ‘Gaya’ enjoys bright light without direct sun. It thrives in a bright room near an east or north-facing window. Constant humidity is essential to keep its pitchers well formed.
- Exposure: bright indirect light or bright partial shade.
- Ideal: hanging, bright windowsill, bright bathroom, or veranda.
- Temperature: between 18 and 28 °C, avoid cold drafts.
- Substrate: mix of sphagnum, blonde peat, and perlite, without fertilizer.
Verdeia tip: the more humid the air, the more the pitchers develop — lightly mist the foliage on dry days.
Watering & care
- Water: only rainwater or demineralized water.
- Frequency: keep the substrate constantly moist, without stagnant excess water.
- Humidity: about 60–80% ambient humidity to promote pitchers.
- Fertilizer: unnecessary, Nepenthes feeds on insects.
- Pruning: remove dry pitchers to stimulate growth.
- Repotting: every 1 to 2 years in spring, in fresh and airy substrate.
Use a decorative pot with a perforated bottom to promote aeration and avoid excess water at the bottom of the pot.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Its trailing habit and colorful pitchers make it a spectacular plant in a hanging pot or on a high shelf. Perfect to bring a lively tropical touch to your interior.
- To pair with: Dionaea muscipula, Drosera capensis, or Sarracenia psittacina for a mini carnivorous collection.
- Ideal pot: matte ceramic or light hanging pot in natural fiber.
- Ambiance: perfect in an urban jungle with contemporary tropical style.
Place it high to highlight the natural fall of its colorful pitchers.
Verdeia tips
- Regularly mist its foliage to maintain sufficient humidity.
- Avoid dry or overheated rooms: it prefers warm humidity.
- Never give it fertilizer or manual food.
- Place it in a hanging pot or on a shelf to showcase its pitchers.
- Ensure bright indirect light to keep its vibrant colors.

Our Verdeia commitments
FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
