The Nepenthes (ventricosa x sibuyanensis) x flava is a complex horticultural hybrid, primarily bred by Exotica Plants (EP), that combines the robust, "tubby" pitcher traits of its Philippine parents with the unique characteristics of N. flava. This vigorous hybrid is highly sought after by collectors for its striking pitcher morphology and adaptability to typical home environments.
Product Overview
- Pitcher Appearance: This hybrid produces "squat" or "tubby" pitchers filled with syrupy digestive fluid.
- Lower Pitchers: Often display vibrant purple or deep red tones.
- Upper Pitchers: Characterised by a lime-green colouration and a notably "tabletop flat" pitcher opening (peristome).
- Growth Habit: A robust trailing vine that can reach several feet in length. Each leaf typically produces a long-lasting, waxy pitcher.
- Difficulty Level: Considered an intermediate plant, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced enthusiasts due to its "unfussy" nature inherited from N. ventricosa.
