Identifying the Nepenthes Hybrid in the "Asian Pitcher Plant Hybrids" Website Image

A website visitor asks about the Nepenthes hybrid shown as the image link for "Asian Pitcher Plant Hybrids" on the Tropical Plants page—depicting two reddish traps with the main stem off to the left.

The Plant: Nepenthes ventricosa × ampullaria

This hybrid combines the hardiness of N. ventricosa with the lowland vigor of N. ampullaria. It tolerates slightly cooler temperatures than pure N. ampullaria and produces attractive, reddish pitchers.

Availability

Currently sold out and not on the inventory list. May return later in the year alongside other lowland species like N. bicalcarata and N. rafflesiana.
