Description

Updated for Feb 2026 after over 2 years! Updated for Feb 2026 after over 2 years! This beautiful cross is close in appearance to the male parent,Nepenthes diabolica. It’s also exceptionally vigorous under highland conditions, as opposed to Nepenthes diabolica, which is extremely challenging to grow.The entire shape and colouration is completely different from crosses withNepenthes singalanamade using the related speciesNepenthes hamata,which is understandable, considering how differentNepenthes diabolicais fromNepenthes hamata.History:First introduced in March 2018 on thewholesale auctions, it was only occasionally available. Last auctioned in March 2023, it was added to the shop for the first time Oct 2023.Origin:Horticultural, propagated by Borneo Exotics using cuttings taken from seed-grown specimen parent plants.Source:A random selection from several different clones. The female parent is our best selected clone ofN. singalana, and the male parent is a selected seed-grown plant of what used to be known as the ‘red hairy’ form ofN. hamata. The male parent has since been described asNepenthes diabolica, and is now a distinct species in its own right.Photo notes:Photos are of representative clones and may not be identical to plants shipped. The last photos in the series show plants of typical sale sizes in order of size S, M & L (when available). This beautiful cross is close in appearance to the male parent,Nepenthes diabolica.

Climate:'Highland'. We grow it between about 26 deg. C (80 deg. F) in the daytime, down to 12 deg. C (54 deg. F) at night, although it will certainly tolerate temperatures well outside this range.
