Nepenthes ampullaria x mirabilis var. globosa BE 3989

$ 50.00

First introduced Nov 2019by Borneo Exotics. The correct scientific name for this cross is N. ampullaria x mirabilis var. globosa, with the male parent – which is the Thai variant of the species – more commonly referred to in cultivation as N. ‘Viking’. The female parent is a selected clone of Nepenthes ampullaria ‘Brunei Red’ (formerly CR-20 with collection ID 1239), sold as assorted clones under BE-3012.
This handsome cross is very interesting, in that some clones are appearing as bright red and others pure yellow.
Another interesting factor is that although both parent species are lowland – neither of which grow well in our highland nurseries – BE successfully grows this cross in highland conditions. For this reason, they have listed it as an intermediate grower. They find it vigorous and easy to grow.

NOTE: the 2 remaining plants have red pitcher

Random selection from very many clones out of microprop. They are potted in a 5 inch pot, filled with long fiber sphagnum moss and perlite.

Climate: Intermediate

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 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. Note: their leaves tend to have black spots but still grow well and produce pitchers.
