$25.00$40.00

Nepenthes robcantleyi x veitchii BE 3700 was introduced by Borneo Exotics in August 2016. The female parent is the superb cultivar of the species Nepenthes robcantleyi called Nepenthes ‘Queen of Hearts’, which has been exhibited worldwide-many times. The male is  a selected clone of the Sungai Samba lowland form of Nepenthes veitchii. This item is different from BE-3653 in that not only will it have a different appearance, but also tolerate a wider range of temperatures as the male parent is a lowland form.

Plants are potted in 4 inch pots, filled 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.
