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).
