Description
New for Nov 2022Sometimes also available at larger sizes while stocks last!
Nepenthes rafflesiana is a classic lowland species found across Borneo, Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia. The upper pitchers are very different in form from the lower pitchers, and within the species itself, there is a great deal of variability in the size, morphology and colouration of pitchers, even across individuals within the same colony of plants. It hybridises regularly in habitat with nearby species, including N. gracilis, N. ampullaria, N. bicalcarata and various forms of N. mirabilis, to name but a few. In any colony of Nepenthes rafflesiana, it’s common to find hybrids, unless it’s very geographically isolated from other species. Therefore, it’s unlikely that there is any such thing as “pure” Nepenthes rafflesiana, which may explain the wide range of variability observed in habitat.This is not a segregated item and may sometimes be available in larger sizes.History:First introduced in Nov 2022.Origin:West Kalimantan.Source:A random selection from a large number of different clones out of microprop.Photo notes:Photos are of representative clones and may not be identical to plants shipped.Climate:Lowland
