Nepenthes singalana x lowii BE 4080

$40.00

The female parent is N. singalana, which is our clone #5 selected from a grex of seed-raised plants for its superlative coloration. The male parent is a seed-raised N. lowii.

As this cross matures, Borneo Exotics is seeing unusually pronounced bristles appearing on the underside of the lids that are far more robust than on most N. lowii hybrids. All clones they have seen so far resemble the last 2 photos here with attractive color gradients along the tendrils and a splash of yellow under the lids.

A random selection from a large number of different clones out of microprop. Potted in 3.5 inch pot 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.
