BE3877 N.merrilliana x N.aristolochioides -best selected clones

The form of the pitcher as well as the leopard patterning are very reminiscent of the male parent, N. aristolochioides. So too is the translucent rear to the pitcher when viewed through the pitcher mouth, from the point of view of an insect. This characteristic is easily seen in the videos linked above – although not specifically mentioned in the narrative. The size of the pitchers conferred from the female parent, N. merrilliana, can become quite large, certainly far larger than N. aristolochioides, which is a diminutive species. It’s also a far easier to cultivate than either of the parent species and is an intermediate grower, tolerant of a wide range of temperatures.  

First introduced Feb 2018 

The female parent is a seed-raised.Nepenthes merrilliana, which is our clone #12 and is verified as true to form. The male parent is Nepenthes aristolochioides, which is our clone #4, selected from the assorted clones sold under BE-3023. The particular two clones chosen for this item were selected from amongst many for their exceptional vigour.

Climate:  Intermediate. It will flourish in a wide variety of temperatures and we have tested it between 32 deg. C (90 deg. F) and 12 deg. C (54 deg. F), although it may also tolerate temperatures outside this range.
