Nepenthes talangensis x reinwardtiana BE 3780

$30.00

First introduced Jan 2020 by Borneo Exotics. The female parent is Borneo’s clone #4 with collection ID 0325, selected from the many clones of N. talangensis which used to be sold under BE-3187. The male parent is BE’s clone #12 with collection ID 1508 selected from the many clones of N. reinwardtiana sold under BE-3159.
There are a range of different colorations appearing under this selection of clones as the photos show. It’s interesting that the ‘eye spots’ which are a defining characteristic of the male parent are clearly evident in this cross.
Random selection from very many clones out of microprop. Plants are potted in 4 inch pots with long fiber sphagnum moss and perlite.

Climate: Highland

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.
