Nepenthes (lowii x macrophylla) x robcantleyi BE 4018

N. (x ‘trusmadiensis’) x robcantleyi was first introduced June 2020, by Borneo Exotics.  These are seed-grown individuals with a limited release, which when sold out will later slowly be replaced under a different BE-code with a random assortment from many clones out of microprop.

More correctly, this item is N. (lowii x macrophylla) x robcantleyi. If you know Nepenthes, you will realize just how extremely spectacular both parent species are! The female parent is N x trusmadiensis raised from seed in our nurseries and the male parent is the giant black N. robcantleyi, with the cultivar name ‘King of Spades’.

Borneo Exotics waited for a very long time to make this dream cross between one of the most spectacular of all natural hybrids and one of the most iconic of species. At the time of introduction, even juvenile pitchers are highly attractive with pronounced peristome ribs. They expect this cross to produce huge and amazing pitchers when mature.

 EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE!

This item results from a multiple pollination of a single female flower of N x trusmadiensis and as some plants to be shipped may be still too small to allow a positive identification, there is a small risk (we would guess perhaps less than 5%) that any of the plants we ship may be incorrectly labelled. The other possible identities would be either:​

N. (x trusmadiensis) x burbidgeae or N. (x trusmadiensis) x aristolochioides

Plants are potted in a 4 inch pot filled with long fiber sphagnum moss plus perlite.
