Nepenthes villosa x robcantleyi BE 4079

$ 170.00 – $ 250.00

The female parent is Nepenthes villosa of the same clone as that offered under BE-3225, which was originally selected form many for its exceptional vigour and remains very probably the most vigorous of all the Nepenthes villosa in cultivation today.  The male parent is the giant black Nepenthes robcantleyi, with the cultivar name ‘King of Spades’.

The largest plants Borneo Exotics has are still too juvenile to fully show the pitcher characteristics but from what they can see so far, the pitchers will be deeply ribbed, probably more so than the Nepenthes villosa x veitchii, which was the first villosa hybrid they launched back in April 2020.

A random selection from a large number of different 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.
