Nepenthes Gaya, also known as Nepenthes maxima "Gaya" or Nepenthes "Gaya Mountain," is a tropical pitcher plant native to Sabah, a state in Malaysia. Here are some care tips for Nepenthes Gaya:
-
Light: Nepenthes Gaya requires bright, indirect sunlight to thrive. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as this can burn its leaves.

Temperature: This plant prefers warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C) during the day and 50-60°F (10-15°C) at night.
-
Humidity: Nepenthes Gaya needs high humidity levels to grow well. It thrives in humidity levels between 70-80%, which can be achieved by placing a humidifier nearby, grouping it with other plants, or placing a tray of water next to the plant.
-
Water: This plant needs to be kept evenly moist at all times. Water it with distilled or rainwater to avoid mineral buildup in the soil. Do not allow it to sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.
-
Soil: Nepenthes Gaya prefers a well-draining soil that is a mix of peat moss, perlite, and sphagnum moss.
-
Fertilizer: Feed Nepenthes Gaya with a weak fertilizer solution every two weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage healthy growth.

Pruning: Remove any dead or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy and promote new growth.
-
Repotting: Repot your Nepenthes Gaya once a year in the spring using a fresh soil mix. Be gentle when handling the roots, as they can be easily damaged.
