Product information "Nepenthes truncata (highland - reddish leaves)"
One of the best forms of this species! Nepenthes truncata is extremely popular because of the gigantic pitchers, the good genes, the robustness and the colouring.
The young leaves are strikingly red, but turn green with time.
Nepenthes truncata pitchers are among the largest of the genus. The pitchers can grow to over 50 cm tall! This dimension is difficult to estimate before you have seen such a monster fully grown. This makes N. truncata a very popular hybridisation partner, as hybrids with N. truncata usually produce equally very large pitchers.
Nepenthes truncata "Highland red"/ "reddish leaves" produces slightly reddish leaves, very stocky pitchers and intense red stripes on the broad peristome
Even though Nepenthes truncata "reddish leaves" actually originates from the highlands, it can be cultivated in lowlands or even on the windowsill without any problems if there is enough light. There is hardly a more unusual houseplant.
