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 in coloration and teeth!
Most Nepenthes robcantleyi hybrids do attain a great size and grow well in variety of conditions. I grow mine on sunny window that receives morning sun daily.
Nepenthes hamata x robcantleyi Care Notes:
- Very easy to care for and and robust grower. Both species can be temperamental, but I’ve found most individuals of this cross to grow well as intermediates w/o added humidity.
- The parent species are found on completely different islands so this is an interesting genetic mix.
- Because of the pedigree of both parents and spectacular prices are usally high for a hybrid. I expect this will decrease over time as more become available from tissue culture.
