FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Many people know them as Monkey Cups but you know them as Nepenthes. This month's contest is all about the Asian Pitcher Plant. You can spotlight a single pitcher, a specimen plant, or even your whole collection. If it has to do with Nepenthes, we want to see it.

For this month's prize, @Matt and Leah from The Flytrap Store are providing us with a Vitilgo flytrap.

This isn't a cultivar that I hear much about. From The Flytrap Store website:

"Vitiligo" was developed back in 2005 by Trev Cox from a batch of ‘Dentate’ seed crosses. It was selected for its unusual interior trap coloration, which it displays in a pattern of unique patches. ‘Vitiligo’ also has short teeth (cilia) which have an appearance somewhere between a ‘Dentate’ and ‘Sawtooth’ Venus Flytrap. Unlike Scarlatine, which would be considered a variegated flytrap that consistently shows splotchy patterning on the interior and exterior of the traps, Vitiligo is a more "typical" flytrap with the exception of the odd pattern of color patches that sometimes occur on the interior of the traps.

Frost or fried?

I'm afraid it must have gone through a drought. Might have forgotten to water it once or twice...
