Nepenthes (veitchii x platychila) x lowii | 8 - 10 cm

Description :

This is a specifically selected clone and is not included amongst the assorted clones that have sometimes appeared in auctions under BE-4022 and which are highly variable in both form and coloration. The coloration of this clone is a uniform deep plum-red.

To give the full parentage, this item is Nepenthes (lowii x macrophylla) x robcantleyi. We waited for a very long time to make this dream cross between one of the most spectacular of all-natural hybrids and one of the most iconic of species. At the time of introduction, even juvenile pitchers are highly attractive with pronounced peristome ribs. We expect this cross to produce huge and amazing pitchers when mature.

Origin: Horticultural, bred by Borneo Exotics from specimen parent plants. The female parent is Nepenthes x trusmadiensis, raised from seed in our nurseries and the male parent is the giant black Nepenthes robcantleyi, with the cultivar name ‘King of Spades'.

Source: From a single carefully selected clone out of microprop (clone # 4).

Climate: Highland
