Nepenthes ampullaria x hamata BE3948
Borneo Exotics first introduced this amazing hybrid in September 2018. The female parent is N. ampullaria ‘Brunei Red’ and the male parent is the very spectacular Gng. Lumut form of N. hamata. These plants are a random assortment from a very large number of clones out of microprop. It will take time to see what the final leaves and pitchers look like. The plants are potted in a 4 inch pot with long fiber sphagnum moss and 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 50 degrees. Ideal is 65 to 80 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.
