Nepenthes bicalcarata (Sipitang, Borneo)
From
€20.00*
This carnivorous plant is probably one of the most spectacular and best-known pitcher plants.With nectar glands on its peristome and the two teeth, the plant lures its victims. The two prominent teeth give the plant it's name (Latin: bi = "two" - calcaratus = "spur").The green, orange or red lower pitchers are big-bellied and upper pitchers become egg-shaped. Also eye-catching are the long leaves which can reach a length of 90cm.Nepenthes bicalcarata is often found together with N. ampullaria on acidic or sandy soils.Nepenthes bicalcarata was first described 1873 by Joseph D. Hooker and is only found in the lowlands of Borneo.Nepenthes bicalcarata lives in symbiosis with ants (Camponotus schmitzi). The close associaton with ants was already noted by Burbidge in 1880. This symbiosis is unique among all carnivorous plants making it the only Ant Plant among all carnivorous plants that is known so far. The ants live in the hollow and swollen tendrils and feef from the pray that's caught by N. bicalcarata. Camponotus schmitzii is completely dependent on it's host for both food and domatia offered them and cannot survive without N. bicalcarata. It's able to swim and dive to salvage dead insects from the digestive pitcher fluid. It's not harmed by the digestion enzymes and can climb the inner pitcher surface and peristome. Both surfaces are too slippery for most other insects. While Nepenthes bicalcarata can also survive without ants, Camponotus schmitzii pay their rent by protecting the plants from herbivores and pests and preventing an over accumulation of pray in the pitchers. Easy to grow under hot climate.

Nepenthes burbidgeae
From
€40.00*
A relatively slow growing Nepenthes species that's notable for its massive and colorful ovate pitchers. Upper and lower pitchers mainly differ in size.The peristome is striped and the lids are whitish with green and red dots. A small pair of wings runs down the front of each pitcher. The stem of Nepenthes burbidgeae named in honor of the first collector (F. W. Burbidge), reaches a length of 15 meters.Nepenthes burbidgeae was discovered 1858 on Mount Kinabalu (Borneo) and described 1882 by J. D. Hooker.The habitat consists of mossy places on the tops of steep ridges.Although this plant is a highland species, it prefers slightly very warmer temperatures and slightly shady growing conditions.

Nepenthes fallax (Bareo, Borneo)
From
€20.00*
Nepenthes fallax is often confused with nepenthes stenophylla due to their many similarities. The key difference between them is that nepenthes fallax’s lid is orbiculate (circular) while the lid of nepenthes stenophylla is narrow. There are some people who consider these two plants to be the same while others point out that they are indeed two separate species. Nepenthes fallax has beautiful cream-colored pitchers with red/purple speckle that are tubular in shape and have a striped peristome. Both the leaves and the pitchers are hirsute, covered in white hairs.Given its adaptability, nepenthes fallax makes a great terrarium plant and is a good candidate for a sunny windowsill as well. Cultivation Guidelines:Light: Bright indirect or dappled light.Temperature: Intermediate conditions preferred, but highly adaptable.Growing medium: Equal parts sphagnum and horticultural grade perlite.Extra notes on Cultivation: Easy grower, adaptable to household conditions.

Nepenthes lowii (Gunung Mulu, Borneo)
From
€30.00*
The legendary Nepenthes lowii! Certainly one of the most famous Nepenthes species. With absolutely unique, specialized upper pitchers, the species is not only visually captivating.The shape of these high pitchers is also the basis for an absolutely fascinating mutualism. Between the bristles on the pitcher lid, N. lowii secretes a sugary substance. This serves as food for the tree squirrels Tupaia montana and leads to subsequent defecation of the animals. This feces serves as a nitrogen source for the Nepenthes lowii.Lower pitchers of this species already show the bristles, but are not as extremely funnel-shaped as the uppers. The upper pitchers are highly variable and can bear diverse colors.Nepenthes lowii is found on Mt. Kinabalu, Trusmadi, Murud and Mulu in Borneo at 1650-2600 m.a.s.l..N. lowii is a persistent grower under the right conditions, due to the slow growth it is recommended to start early with the species.

Nepenthes mollis (N. hurrelliana) (Borneo)
From
€75.00*
Nepenthes mollis, formerly known as Nepenthes hurrelliana, is a real feast for the eyes. Originally discovered on Mount Lumarku, this species is possibly of hybridogenic origin. It normally grows as an epiphyte at an altitude of 1300 to 2600 metres, although it also occurs terrestrially.Although initially thought to be a variety of Nepenthes veitchii, Nepenthes mollis has several features that distinguish it from other species of the genus. It is best known for its tall, slender, spreading peristome, which has contrasting stripes of yellow and brown. Both the pitchers and the leaves are covered with a reddish-brown indumentum that also includes the upper side of the lamellae - a feature that few other Nepenthes have.The body of the pitchers is usually light green/yellow and strongly marked by brown speckles. The upper pitchers are usually lighter in colour but still have spots, especially on the top of the pitchers.Growing guidelines: Light: Bright, indirect light. This species develops a dark purple colouring if it gets too much light.Temperature: Normal medium temperatures.Growing medium: A very well-drained and airy mixture. A Sphagnum mix with a high percentage of perlite or horticultural grade bark or an inorganic mix of kanuma, akadama and lava rock will work well. Additional growing notes: This species does NOT like to stand wet for long periods and is susceptible to rot.

Nepenthes northiana (Borneo)
From
€30.00*
An impressive lowland species, with unique, large pitchers. The striped, raised and flared peristome is an absolute eye-catcher. The species is only found in Kuching, Sarawak and inhabits the limestone cliffs there.Nepenthes northiana grows litophytic in nature and therefore prefers mineral, airy substrates. However, an increased lime content in the substrate does not seem to be necessary for successful cultivation. As long as the conditions remain constant and appropriate lowland conditions are provided, the species is absolutely a joy to keep . Large specimens are however rare in culture.
Nepenthes rafflesiana (Baku, Borneo)
From
€15.00*
Great N. rafflesiana form with very stocky, contrasting pitchers and a winged tendril. Due to the extreme variability of this lowland species, all kinds of shapes and colors are represented. However, this form combines some favored features such as the bulbous, rounded pitchers, the contrasting dark coloration, and the wings that run along the tendril.Nepenthes rafflesiana goes only relatively late into the real high shoot, but shows there incredible pitchers with strong funnel shape and raised peristome, like in N. sumatrana.Awesome species for any lowland setup. The species is adaptable.
Nepenthes rafflesiana (Borneo)

€15.00*
A mostly underestimated, highly variable species that covers a wide distribution in nature. From black to white pitchers, virtually all intermediate forms are represented. The lower pitchers are cup-shaped with a round peristome showing characteristic teeth under the pitcher lid. The wings are broad and toothed. The upper pitchers are very funnel-shaped and, like N. sumatrana, show a characteristic elevation in the peristome. This form of Nepenthes rafflesiana has very pale, almost white, sparsely spotted pitchers with a reddish peristome.Extremely interesting species for any lowland setup.
Nepenthes rajah (Mt. Kinabalu, Borneo) (CITES)
From
€50.00*
Definitely one of the most iconic Nepenthes species. Nepenthes rajah captivates with both appearance, size and ecology.The urn-shaped pitchers, up to 35 cm in size, show a red-purple coloration, a red-purple, strongly serrated peristome and an unusually long pitcher lid for the genus. This secretes a sugar solution which, as in N. lowii, attracts various small mammals and trades sugar for the nutrients in the faeces in a mutualistic exchange. N. rajah grows on extremely nutrient-poor, mineral soils that are contaminated with metals. With distribution on Mt. Kinabalu and Mt. Tambuyukon at 1500-26500 m.a.s.l., the species is a classic highland species.With generous pitcher fertilization, mineral substrate and suitable cool temperatures, the species is surprisingly fast growing.Certainly one of the most enjoyable species to keep.Please note:This species is protected under appendix I of WA.The paperwork for WA I species is a very complicated process and takes several weeks from application to receiving the papers.Therefore, we only ship this species to EU countries.

Nepenthes rajah (Tam., Borneo) (CITES)
From
€50.00*
The queen among the pitcher plants! Nepenthes rajah rightly bears this title, as it is one of the largest and most impressive Nepenthes species. Nepenthes rajah forms large, urn-shaped lower pitchers, up to 35 cm high and 18 cm in diameter. The large pitcher lid and the strongly serrated peristome, which looks like a crown, are particularly striking. The pitchers are reddish purple with a purple peristome and red lid, the leaves are peltate. As with N. lowii, N. rajah is known to be mutualistic with small mammals that use the pitchers as a toilet. However, due to the size of the pitchers, the animals can fall prey to the pitchers themselves.Nepenthes rajah grows on Mt. Kinabalu and Mt. Tambuyukon, where they colonize mineral soils at 1500-2650 m.a.s.l.. Besides Nepenthes khasiana, Nepenthes rajah is the only species at the highest CITES conservation status (WA I). However, through in vitro propagation in the laboratory, the plants offered here are completely safe to acquire and help the spread of the species in the hobby.Please note:This species is protected under appendix I of WA.The paperwork for WA I species is a very complicated process and takes several weeks from application to receiving the papers.Therefore, we only ship this species to EU countries.

Nepenthes campanulata
From
€20.00*
Nepenthes campanulata produces only one type of bell-shaped, yellow green pitchers with a strong reduced peristome and only very tiny teeth. The name was chosen in reference to it's unique bell shaped pitchers (Latin: campanulatus"= "bell shaped")The pitchers can reach a height of 10cm and 5cm in diameter. The trunk forms many, short stolons which are growing litophytically (on rocks).Nepenthes campanulata was first collectet 1957 by A. Kosterman at a cliff-face of Ilas Bungaan (="Flower Rock" because of it's huge colorful population of Nepenthes campanulata plants that covered a hugearea of the cliff) in the east of Borneo.It was considered extinct until a few years ago plants that might represent a new and distant pupulation were found in the Mulu area. All plants in cultivation originate from the Mulu population since no living material ever was collected from Ilas Bungaan before the original population was wiped out.The habitat is on mossy cliffs and damp limestone substrates. This pitcher plant is still rare in collections but very easy to grow. It resembles Nepenthes inermis a bit as it also lacks a well developed peristome.

Nepenthes clipeata
From
€30.00*
Nepenthes clipeata is notable for the big-bellied pitchers with a long funnel – similar to a wasp waist - and the roundish hairy peltate leaves to which the name is refering (Latin: clipeus = "round-shield").This extaordinary species only producs one type of pitchers that can reach a maximum height of 30cm. Nepenthes clipeata does not vine. The shoots stay relatively short and reach a length of two meters. Nepenthes clipeata was first collectet 1894 by J. G. Hallier and is only to be found on the vertical granite cliff of Mount Kelam in Kalimantan.Probably the most endangered nepenthes with an extreme small wild population by now Nepenthes clipeata is almost extinct in the wild. So plants in cultivation should be grown with great care as they might soon be the only survivors of this unique species! This carnivorous plant is one of the most spectacular and desired species growing in lowland areas of Borneo.

Nepenthes edwardsiana (Tamb.)
From
€180.00*
Nepenthes edwardsiana is the king of all nepenthes, discovered over a century ago on the slopes of Mount Kinabalu, later on to be found growing on Mount Tambuyukon as well. It grows at altitudes of 1600-2700 meters, both as a terrestrial, epiphyte, and lithophyte.This species is truly a must have for any serious collector with little need for an introduction! Nepenthes edwardsiana is one of the largest of all species in the genus, producing pitchers up to fifty centimeters in height. It has one of the most developed peristomes out of all nepenthes, usually blood red in color while the pitchers come in various shades of yellow all the way to maroon. Pitchers are bulbous at the base, and the cylindrical body leads to the massive teeth found on the peristome. Upper pitchers are quite similar to the lower ones, but the uppers lack wings, are larger in size, and are more tubular in shape.Cultivation Guidelines:Light: Bright indirect or dappled light, leaves turn red easily.Temperature: Intermediate to highland conditions. This species does not like extremely cold nighttime temperatures and can tolerate warmer days compared to other highland nepenthes.Growing medium: A very well-draining and airy mix. A mix of sphagnum with a high proportion of horticultural-grade perlite or bark works well, or an all inorganic mix consisting of a mixture between kanuma, akadama, and lava rock.Extra notes on Cultivation: Out of the toothy species, generally this is the easiest to grow but can be difficult to get to pitcher.
