Nepenthes (veitchii × lowii) × robcantleyi, BE-3841
Nepenthes (veitchii × lowii) × robcantleyi is a vigorous highland pitcher plant hybrid from Borneo Exotics, noted for its large pitchers and broad, colourful peristomes. It combines three substantial species in a cross with a strong emphasis on pitcher size, flared rims and impressive proportions as it matures.
The female parent is N. veitchii × lowii, crossed with N. robcantleyi as the male parent. Borneo Exotics describes the cross as producing wide peristomes that do not roll back completely. Nectar beneath the pitcher lid has also been reported, including on juvenile plants. BE-3841 represents assorted tissue-cultured clones, so rim colour, markings and pitcher shape vary between individuals rather than following one fixed appearance.

Care Guidance
Provide bright, filtered light, high humidity and gentle air circulation. Maintain highland conditions with cooler nights and avoid persistently hot, 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, and allow room for its substantial mature growth. No winter dormancy is required.
