The female parent of this release has the cultivar name ‘Queen of Hearts’ and is very probably the most photographed Nepenthes in history, having appeared on many of Borneo Exotic’s gold medal winning Chelsea Flower show exhibits. The male parent is a classic pure green form of N. reinwardtiana, with our collection ID 1508. Borneo Exotics is finding this cross to be extremely robust.

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.
