Nepenthes ampullaria x aristolochioides BE 3658

$20.00 – $40.00

First introduced in April 2015 by Borneo Exotics. The female parent is a selected clone of N. ampullaria ‘Brunei Red’ (clone CR12) which is one of the assorted clones formerly sold under BE-3012 and the male parent is Borneo Exotic’s best selected form of Nepenthes aristolochioides from among those sold under BE-3023.

As this cross has lowland and highland parentage, it is temperature tolerant as well as vigorous and easy to grow.

Random selection from a large number of clones out of microprop. Plants are potted in a 4 inch pot, filled with long fiber sphagnum moss plus perlite.

Tropical Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes sp.) Care

Best to use only pure water – rainwater, distilled water or RO water. Be careful of bottled water as some contain salt which will kill your Tropical Pitcher plant
Keep a small amount of pure water in each trap. Mist plants regularly.
Keep soil moist; but well drained at all times. Do Not let your Nepenthes sit in water
Nepenthes like partial sunny location. They grow well on windowsills or under fluorescent lights in a terrarium.
Soil is mixture 3 parts long fiber sphagnum with 1 part perlite or 1 part fine orchid bark.
Fertilize Nepenthes with foliar fertilizer. ¼ tsp of Maxsea per gallon of water, 2 times a month
Nepenthes like to grow warm: above 65 degrees. Ideal is 70 to 85 degrees with high humidity.

Note: Pitchers will change in color and shape as they mature. Often there are also several different clones in our mix, so the pitchers may vary slightly for this reason as well.
