Product information "Nepenthes villosa (Mt. Kinabalu, Borneo)"
Nepenthes villosa is definitely one of the most outstanding representatives of the genus! The variable species has very bulbous pitchers with an extremely toothed peristome. The peristome can take on all possible color variations from green, yellow or orange-red. The pitcher itself can also vary completely from yellow-red and is hairy. The upper pitchers are almost identical, but slightly more slender.
The teeth and the pitcher shape make this species one of the most desirable in the genus, but the relevance of a strong night temperature drop due to the origin from the highlands at 2300-3200 m.a.s.l. and the sensitivity ensures that this species should be reserved for advanced keepers.
