Nepenthes hamata x platychila NE 131

This is a hybrid between two spectacular highland parents: N. hamata and N. platychila. This is a hybrid exclusive to Malesiana Tropicals in Malaysia. Nepenthes hamata is rare and much sought-after species is native to Central Sulawesi, where it grows on mossy ridges in mountain forest. The bizarre clawed peristome is the plant’s trademark feature. Nepenthes platychila is revered for the upper traps, funnel shaped with a fantastically wide and flattened peristome.

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.
