$20.00 – $30.00

Nepenthes glandulifera x tenuis BE 3891 was first introduced by Borneo Exotics in March 2018. They are a random assortment, from a very large number of clones, out of microprop. The female parent is a seed-raised N. glandulifera selected from those formerly sold under BE-3613 and the male parent is the rare N. tenuis, which Borneo Exotics has never sold as of October 2019.

These are medium size plants, in 4 inch pots and potted in 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 pearlite 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.
