Nepenthes jacquelineae, BE-3874
Nepenthes jacquelineae is a highland tropical pitcher plant from Sumatra, distinguished by squat, robust pitchers and an exceptionally broad, flanged peristome. The expansive rim gives its traps a striking, sculptural appearance, making pitcher development a particular attraction for collectors of distinctive species.
BE-3874 is a single clone selected by Borneo Exotics from the plants previously offered under BE-3092. It was chosen for its vigour and also noted for its distinctive colouring. Although the species can display green, yellow, orange and red tones, that range describes N. jacquelineae generally rather than promising every colour on this selected clone. Pitcher appearance also changes with maturity and growing conditions.

Care Guidance
Provide bright, filtered light, high humidity and gentle air circulation. Maintain highland conditions with a clear drop in temperature at night, avoiding prolonged heat in enclosed growing spaces. Use an open, moisture-retentive growing medium that drains freely. Water thoroughly with rainwater, distilled water or reverse-osmosis water, keeping the medium damp without leaving the pot standing in water. Protect the plant from harsh afternoon sun, drying winds and frost. No winter dormancy is required.
