Nepenthes sibuyanensis x merilliana | 6 - 10 cm

This is a stunning hybrid and it can be grown by most people. It has enormous tough waxy pitchers that immediately draw the eye and admiration of any visitor to our nurseries.

History:  First introduced to cultivation in Mar 2013 on our old PDF price list and added to the shop in Oct 2020. In Aug 2020 two clones were segregated from this item and marketed separately under BE-4026 because they were very similar in appearance to one another, while this item is more variable due to the fact that it’s a random selection from a huge number of different clones. However, for those who prefer the fun of the variability, this item remains popular. It still includes both of the clones that comprise BE-4026 and it may also include clones that could be even more spectacular than the ones we selected for BE-4026. It last went out of stock in Jan 2021 and returned for March 2022.

Description:  The female parent is N. sibuyanensis selected for its orange colouration from the assorted clones sold under BE-3164, and the male parent is the huge Mt. Legaspi form of N. merrilliana, selected from amongst the assorted clones sold in the past under BE-3727. The coloration varies somewhat between individuals as the photos show. Being an intermediate grower, it’s tolerant of a wide range of temperatures.

Climate: Intermediate
