Nepenthes robcantleyi x hamata BE 3958

Nepenthes robcantleyi x hamata BE 3958

Borneo Exotics first introduced this cross in Nov 2018. The female parent is a giant N. robcantleyi, which although one of the original 6 plants they raised from seeds, has no cultivar name at the time of writing (Nov 2018). The male parent is a selected clone of the Gng Tambusisi form of N. hamata, selected from amongst those sold under BE-3280. This is the reverse cross to the item sold under BE-3621 and BE-3746 which are from two different grexes of seed-grown N. hamata x robcantleyi. They believe they are seeing a considerable difference between this cross and the reverse cross. Although the pitchers are not yet mature enough to be definitive, it does appear that this cross may have a broader peristome than N. hamata x robcantleyi, which would be the influence of N. robcantleyi on the often more dominant (!) maternal side.

This is the first offering of plants from microprop and is a random selection of literally hundreds of different clones. Plants are potted in 4 inch pots, filled with long fiber sphagnum moss and perlite.
