Nepenthes sanguinea is a hardy and highly adaptable tropical pitcher plant native to the highlands of Malaysia. It is known for its large, colorful pitchers that range from green and orange to deep red, with a contrasting, often striped peristome. The name sanguinea, meaning "bloody" in Latin, refers to the rich red tones the plant can develop under optimal lighting.

This species thrives in bright, indirect light and high humidity, though it is one of the most tolerant Nepenthes, capable of adapting to a variety of indoor conditions. It prefers a well-draining, acidic mix such as sphagnum moss with perlite or orchid bark and should be watered consistently with rainwater, distilled, or reverse osmosis water. Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy.

Nepenthes sanguinea is fast-growing and can produce impressively large pitchers—up to 10 inches in length—making it a favorite among both novice and experienced carnivorous plant enthusiasts. Its ease of care and dramatic appearance make it a standout addition to any indoor tropical or carnivorous plant collection.
