First introduced in October 2016 by Norneo Exotics. Both parents were selected many years ago as being true, from Legaspi N. merrilliana raised in Borneo Exotic’s nurseries in the 1990’s and were sold in the distant past as assorted clones under BE-3117. Random assortment from a very large number of clones out of microprop

This is one of the largest species in the genus and probably the largest lowland species. Exceedingly rare in cultivation but an easy grower. They are potted in a 4 inch pot, filled with long fiber sphagnum moss and perlite.

Climate: Lowland

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.

This is my all time favorite nepenthes. Mine is growing slowly. It has made a small pretty pink pitcher. I am growing it in lowland conditions. I hope that one day it will make those giant pitchers seen in photos online.
