Product information "Nepenthes insignis (Tayeve, Irian Jaya)"
Very impressive form of Nepenthes insignis. The species comes from New Guinea and surrounding small islands, where it inhabits the lowland forest. This is the species from which the smaller Nepenthes biak, formerly known as Nepenthes insignis "Biak-form" was split off.
In its natural range, Nepenthes insignis grows primarily epiphytically in dense moss.
Interestingly, N. insignis seems to feed mainly on large-winged cockroaches.
