Nepenthes mirabilis var. globosa x hamata BE3685

Nepenthes mirabilis var. globosa x hamata BE 3685 was first introduced in April 2016 by Borneo Exotics. . A very striking vigorous and distinctive hybrid, and a prolific producer of pitchers. The huge wings of the female parent are still apparent, as is the distinctive ribbed peristome conferred by the male parent. The female parent is a selected clone of the beautiful N. mirabilis var. globosa selected from those sold under BE-3394 and the male parent is a selected seed-grown clone of the G. Tambusisi form of N. hamata. Note: We updated the photos as of August 30, 2020. This is an amazing hybrid!

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.
