This same cross was first introduced to cultivation in July 2017 as a limited released of seed-grown individuals under BE 3787. The last plants of BE-3787 sold out in Aug 2020. This item was first launched in Feb 2021 and differs from BE-3787 in that it’s from a sustainable supply, being taken from literally hundreds of different clones out of microprop.
Description: The female parent is a seed-grown N. petiolata and the male parent is a seed-grown Bario form of Nepenthes veitchii, with red-striped peristome. It forms robust attractive pitchers, with strong influence from the male parent. Juvenile pitchers are also attractive.

Plants are potted in a 3.5 inch pot filled with long fiber sphagnum moss plus 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.
