N. sibuyanensis x merrilliana – selected clones

Updated for Feb 2026! Updated for Feb 2026! This amazingly outstanding cross is one of the most impressive hybrids ever made. The pitchers have the waxy texture of N. sibuyanensis combined with the sheer size of N. merrilliana and 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.History:First introduced Aug 2020 on our old PDF pricelist and added to the shop in June 2021.Origin:Horticultural, bred by Borneo Exotics.
