N. sibuyanensis x merrilliana – assorted clones

This amazingly outstanding cross is one of the most impressive hybrids ever made. The pitchers have the waxy texture ofN. sibuyanensiscombined with the sheer size ofN. merrillianaand can grow to be quite enormous. All the clones in this selection have pitchers that are either a deep orange or red. It’s also a vigorous cross, robust and an easy grower. Simply a stunning plant all round, as can be seen on the numerous videos to be found on ourYouTube channel. A specific clone of this cross bred and raised in our nurseries currently holds the Guinness World Record for the largest carnivorous plant by volume, at just under 3 litres. However, larger pitchers are probably possible.In Aug 2020, two clones were segregated from this item and marketed separately under BE-4026 because they were very similar in appearance to one another, while this item is more variable due to the fact that it’s a random selection from a huge number of different clones. However, for those who prefer the fun of the variability, this item remains hugely popular. It still includes both of the clones that comprise BE-4026, and it may also include clones that could be even more spectacular than the ones we selected for BE-4026.History:First introduced in March 2013.Origin:Horticultural, bred by Borneo Exotics. The female parent isN. sibuyanensisselected for its orange colouration from the assorted clones sold under BE-3164, and the male parent is the huge Mt. Legaspi form ofN. merrilliana, selected from amongst the assorted clones sold in the past under BE-3727.Source:A random selection from a huge number of different clones.Photo notes:Photos are of representative clones and may not be identical to plants shipped.
