Variant

Miranda Pitcher Plant, aka Nepenthes x Miranda, is a robust and visually striking carnivorous plant that is a hybrid with both lowland and highland ancestry. This gives it a versatile and hardy nature, capable of thriving in a variety of climates. It features large, pale green pitchers adorned with red-brown speckles and a distinctive, almost vertical mouth framed by a dark reddish-brown peristome. The pitchers, which can grow up to 18 inches long and are wide enough to resemble coffee cups at full maturity, are equipped with narrow hoods and wide, ruffled wings. This plant is particularly adept at capturing large insects, such as stink bugs, wasps, and yellow jackets, making it not only a captivating ornamental plant but also a practical addition to control pests.

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Pro tips

Miranda Pitcher Plant is a fast grower and can be pruned to keep it bushy and manageable. Trimming the stems not only helps maintain its shape but also provides material for propagating new plants from cuttings. The plant is heat tolerant and does well in a warm window but should be moved outdoors in only warm weather. Ensure it is protected from extreme temperatures and brought indoors during colder months. Miranda Pitcher Plan is sensitive to minerals and chemicals often found in tap water. It's best to water them with rainwater or distilled water to avoid potential issues.

Care Guide

How to take care of Miranda Pitcher Plant

Sun: Indirect

Miranda Pitcher Plant should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Bright

Miranda Pitcher Plant will do best in bright light. A nice bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window, either with or without blinds, depending on if the plant can handle sun. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When top quarter dry

Allow the top quarter of the soil to dry before watering Miranda Pitcher Plant again. This usually takes about 3 - 4 days in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: High

Miranda Pitcher Plant likes a high humidity environment, give them a mist daily or as often as possible. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. Although they won't die if they don't receive enough humidity, their leaves may have some dry, crunchy, or yellow edges.

Pet Caution

Miranda Pitcher Plant is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Plant Story

Introducing the Miranda Pitcher Plant, a spectacular and robust carnivorous plant that captivates with its unusual and vividly patterned pitchers. This hybrid, celebrated for its ease of care and striking appearance, symbolizes the fascinating complexity of nature and the ingenuity of evolutionary adaptation.

The Miranda Pitcher Plant boasts large, pale green pitchers speckled with red-brown markings and adorned with a dark reddish-brown peristome (the lip of the pitcher). The pitchers, which can grow up to 18 inches in length and resemble the size of coffee cups when fully mature, serve as intricate traps for unwary insects. The plant’s pitchers are not only functional, trapping and digesting insects to supplement the plant's nutritional needs, but also highly ornamental.

Ideal for beginners and seasoned plant enthusiasts alike, the Miranda Pitcher Plant thrives under specific conditions. It requires bright, indirect light to highlight the striking contrast of its pitchers and prefers high humidity, making it a perfect resident for well-lit bathrooms or kitchens or anywhere a humidifier is used.

Watering should be attentive; keep the soil consistently moist using distilled or rainwater to avoid mineral buildup that could harm the plant. The importance of using pure water underscores the pitcher plant’s sensitivity to its environment and the need for careful stewardship.

Nepenthes x Miranda grows vigorously and can be trimmed to maintain a bushy appearance or to propagate new plants from cuttings. Its ability to thrive in varied conditions, from indoor windowsills in cooler climates to outdoor settings in warmer areas, illustrates its adaptability and resilience.

Beyond its visual appeal and ease of care, the Miranda Pitcher Plant serves as a natural form of pest control, attracting and digesting insects such as stink bugs, wasps, and yellow jackets. This ecological role highlights the plant’s contribution to maintaining a balanced environment, even within the home.

Embrace the Miranda Pitcher Plant as more than a houseplant; view it as a living piece of art and a testament to the wonders of the natural world. Its presence in your home offers a daily reminder of nature’s ingenuity and the delicate balance of ecosystems, enriching your space with both beauty and intrigue.
