Own cross. The combination of Nepenthes inermis and Nepenthes sibuyanensis promises interestingly shaped and large pitchers. The young plants show a distinctly "bottle-like" shape - a typical characteristic of Nepenthes inermis.
Own cross. The combination of Nepenthes inermis and Nepenthes talangensis promises interesting shaped and pitchers, hopefully reminiscent of Nepenthes x Pyriformis....
Nepenthes (burbidgeae x veitchii) x mollis combines three species with probably the most beautiful striped/coloured peristomes in the genus. The peristome is already highly raised in the hybrid of N. burbidgeae and N. veitchii, which is super prerequisite for the expression of the N. mollis traits, as the traits harmonize rather than compete. A bulbous pitcher with a broad, strongly raised and intensely striped peristome is expected! Experience shows that with the combination of these characteristics and species an absolutely stunning hybrid is created.

Nothing can go wrong with these parents!The young plants show heavily hairy leaves and a waxy layer between the hairs. The leaf colour is mostly dark.The peristomes of semi-adult plants are usually nicely striped and raised.
Nepenthes (spathulata x spectabilis) x (veitchii x lowii)The parents provide a pronounced rather flat peristome. So far, the half-grown plants also stand out due to their beautiful color.
Nepenthes pitopangii hybrids are still very rare. The lower pitchers are very compact and bulbous with a mostly red base coloration, which is however very variable. The peristome is slightly oval and ribbed, as in Nepenthes burkei. Nepenthes burkei also shows bulbous lower pitchers with a distinct hip and green coloration with red spots. The peristome is red and serrated. To be expected are compact lowers with a probably red peristome and green-red can body.The upper pitchers will be really interesting as they are extremely funnel shaped in Nepenthes pitopangii. How much will this be seen in the high pitchers of this hybrid? It remains to be seen.
