Description
Nepenthes peltata is endemic to Mindanao in the Philippines, where it grows at altitudes between about 800 and 1,600 m, making it a temperature-tolerant intermediate grower. As the name implies, the tendril insertion into the leaf is peltate, emerging before the tip of the leaf. It’s quite variable in form but is always colourful and often has leaves with a bright red underside. Pitchers can become quite large, as the photos here show.This is a single clone selected from amongst those sold as assorted sold under BE-4025, which vary considerably in shape between individuals. This clone might well be the largest of them.Last returned:May 2025History:First introduced in Oct 2023.Origin:Horticultural, bred by Borneo Exotics.Source:From a single carefully selected clone.Photo notes:Plants shipped are of the same clone as shown in these photos. The last photos in the series show plants of typical sale sizes in order of size S, M & L (when available).Climate:This is an intermediate growing item, which means it will flourish in a wide variety of temperatures. We have tested it between 32 deg. C (90 deg. F) and 12 deg. C (54 deg. F), although it may also tolerate temperatures outside this range.
