Native to tropical rainforests from Madagascar to Australia, the Nepenthes is a carnivorous plant that has become a popular houseplant. The lid of the ‘pitcher’ is coated with a form of nectar that attracts insects, they then slide down the waxy interior and activate glands that digest said insects.
