Nepenthes aristolochioides x spectabilis
Nepenthes aristolochioides x spectabilis
This hybrid showcases the best traits of both parent species. The pitchers inherit the unusual, windowed hood of Nepenthes aristolochioides, giving them a lantern-like appearance, while Nepenthes spectabilis contributes bold striping and rich, dark tones. The result is a striking plant with bulbous, eye-catching pitchers patterned in deep maroons, chocolate browns, and contrasting yellow-green streaks. The lids sit at an angle, casting soft light through the translucent windows, a natural lure for unsuspecting insects. The leaves are a glossy green, sturdy, and support the development of pitchers along the vine, creating a dramatic and exotic display.
Country of Origin: Southeast Asia (mainly mountainous regions of Borneo, Sumatra, Philippines, and Papua New Guinea)
Temperature: Day: 20–26 °C (68–78 °F) | Night: 10–15 °C (50–59 °F) – night drop is essential
Care: Moderate to Difficult (requires cooler conditions and temperature drops at night)
Light: Bright indirect light to full sun
Humidity: High (60–90%)
Each transparent carnivorous cup (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant freshly transitioned from tissue culture.
Inside, you'll find a young carnivorous plant planted securely in special growing media soil that replicates their natural habitat.
This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity, aiding the delicate plants during their crucial hardening-off stage.
Perfect for both novice growers and experienced collectors, these cups provide a simple and effective way to cultivate and enjoy captivating insect-eating plants.
A tissue culture vessel is a sterile, transparent container (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) that holds multiple young plants (typically 3 or more) grown under laboratory conditions.
These vessels provide a carefully controlled environment, keeping the plants healthy and contaminant-free until they're ready to transition to standard growing conditions.
Quick Hardening Steps:
- Open Lid Gradually: Slightly open the cup to slowly reduce humidity.
- Maintain Humidity: Gradually decrease humidity over 2–4 weeks.
- Indirect Light: Start with gentle, indirect lighting.
- Moist Soil: Keep media damp, never wet.
- Monitor Closely: Slowly increase airflow and light exposure.
