Nepenthes sanguine develops large, fat pitchers that will turn red outside, with red speckled insides and wide mouths that are oval with an up-turned hood and prominent wings. Upper pitchers are funnel shaped, pale green with red speckles, and a striped peristome.

Keep in a warm and bright spot with some humidity, appreciates a bit of morning sun - avoid mid day direct sunlight. Ensure the medium never dries out completely, maintain consistent moisture but be sure it has proper drainage and does not remain soggy- do not allow your Nepenthes to sit in water.  Use rainwater, distilled water or reverse osmosis water. Be careful with bottled water as these may contain salt which will kill your pitcher plant. Keep a small amount of water in each pitcher!
