Tropical Pitcher, Nepenthes 'Spathulata x Mira x Bill Bailey'

The Nepenthes spathulata x mira x 'Bill Bailey' is a complex, high-quality hybrid that combines three distinct lineages to produce a robust, colourful, and adaptable plant. This cross typically brings together the massive, wide-mouthed structure of N. spathulata, the unique orange-pink hues of N. mira, and the "bulletproof" reliability and dark red tones of the famous cultivar 'Bill Bailey' (N. singalana x ventricosa).

Product Features

• Striking Pitcher Morphology: Expect "tubby" or "squat" pitchers with wide, flared peristomes (rims). The influence of N. spathulata and N. mira often results in very large traps, while 'Bill Bailey' contributes a more compact and elegant form.
• Vibrant Coloration: Pitchers are frequently deep red to purple, inherited from the 'Bill Bailey' parent, often contrasted by the orange or pinkish tones of N. mira and a deep red or striped peristome from N. spathulata.
• Extreme Vigour: This hybrid is noted for its "unfussy" nature and rapid growth. It is highly adaptable to a variety of domestic settings, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and collectors.
• Abundant Pitchering: Known for holding multiple pitchers at once and producing numerous basal offshoots as it matures.
