Have been growing the Nepenthes clipeata in HL/Intermediate conditions for a few years since germinating in 2020. Now in August 2024 I have an update and some individuals which are showing mature characteristics. I also got some Nepenthes (lowii x veitchii) x clipeata seeds which are now starting to show some spectacular peristomes. Still need […]
August 10, 2024 I received Nepenthes × harryana (edwardsiana x villosa) from Jeff Shafer. Here is a look @ the Nepenthes seeds which can vary slightly in appearance based on the pod parent species. Sowed them on peat + sand and perlite mix immediately after I received them in the mail. Looking forward to these
Using Nepenthes mollis (fka huerlliana) pollen mailed to me by Jeff Shafer we created a new hybrid Nepenthes diabolica Jeremiah Harris made the same cross some years back and so I’ve seen one example of an adult, but will be excitint or see the variation! Happy growing ! Hit me up on IG if you’re

Nepenthes mira x edwardsiana is a hybrid between two highland/intermediate plants. So far has been an easy grower. Excited to see how this turns out. So far looks a lot like an orange edwardsiana.

Asian Pitchers plant hybrids: Borneo Exotics Hybrid BE-3755 Highland: Hybrid of highland and intermediate Nepenthes hamata x robcantleyi , is a new hybrid from Borneo Exotics. Introduced in 2017. Both hamata & robcantleyi are iconic species and make great hybrids. The inverse cross was absolutely spectacular and this seem to be just a little bit better

It’s well known for having highly distinct upper and lower pitchers. All my plants are small so not yet showing upper pitchers. Some place eymae as an extreme variation of Nepenthes maxima, others contend that introgression from maxima
