Nepenthes bellii x robcantleyi, bouncing back rapidly after the repot it needed. It’s yet to flower, but once settled it makes a lot of big, chunky traps. Didn’t inherit the dark color of rob sadly, but the contrast of lime green peristome (which blushes bronze sometimes) and purple inside is attractive.

When it comes to simple hybrids, it’s hard to beat the spectacular and easy nature of Nepenthes ventricosa x spectabilis. Chunky, flared peristomes, and bright reds that quickly age to this deep purple and black.

Which do you prefer, lighter and multicolor stripes, or dark and chocolate-red?
Both are sibling Nepenthes (veitchii x burbidgeae) x stenophylla I got as freebies a while back, that just got a much-needed pot upgrade.

The fattest Nepenthes rafflesiana that ever did live…or possibly just introgressed with ampullaria. Its siblings are all more or less normal raff though, with similar coloring…

Comparison of pitchers on Nepenthes ventricosa x sibuyanensis clone B, and A. While the differences have become more slight for some reason, clone B tends to produce more hourglass pitchers and darker peristomes (once fully aged) contrasting a lighter body while A has more fat cylindrical traps and red color. Both have vined immensely before but still can’t quite seem to convince them to bloom…
Clone A is currently still available in the Shop, though as soon as they’re repotted both are likely to have vines chopped and propagated as they have multiples

Much in need of repot like most other things in the greenhouse, this little Nepenthes nigra has been behaving like a dwarf for some time now but still making notably toothy dark pitchers. Once it’s lifted up in better soil and not shaded out by vines soon to be chopped I expect it will get far darker again too.

Embron’s helping hold up Nepenthes ventricosa x robcantleyi while Callie photobombs in the background
This is a sturdy and impressive hybrid (and matches our mascot’s colors pretty well) that marries the best of both species in my opinion.

Lower and upper pitchers, separated by about 15 feet of vine now, on Nepenthes longifolia. Still need it to bloom…
