Nepenthes robcantleyi x ampullaria BE3767

Nepenthes robcantleyi x ampullaria BE3767 was first introduced in June 2017 by Borneo Exotics. The female parent is the superb cultivar of the species N. robcantleyi called Nepenthes ‘Queen of Hearts’, which has been exhibited worldwide-many times and the male parent is a selected clone of N. ampullaria ‘Brunei red’ with collection ID: CR-34. It’s a very easy grower and because of the lowland-highland parentage, it tolerates a wide range of temperatures. This is one clone that all the plants will have the coloration you see and we expect larger pitchers.

Plants are grown in 4 inch pots 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.
