Product information "Nepenthes palawanensis (Palawan)"
Nepenthes palawanensis was only discovered and described in 2010.
It was found at 1100-1236 m.a.s.l. on Sultan Peak of the namesake island of Palawan in Mindanao.
The species produces impressive pitchers that can grow up to 35 cm tall and reach a capacity of 1.5-2 l!
This makes the species one of the top candidates for pitcher size.
N. palawanensis is very closely related to N. attenboroughii.
The lower pitchers of this species are funnel shaped and extremely variable in colour, they can be brown, reddish, orange or green in colour and the peristome can be unicolored or striped, also in the samecolours, but these do not have to correspond to the respective pitcher colour.
N. palawanensis can be cultivated especially well in mineral substrate.
