A full-size plant will sport 6-inch colorful pitchers with red-orange splotches against a yellow background. It grows very well as a houseplant and appreciates lots of bright filtered sunlight or partial sun. The full parentage of this plant is Nepenthes khasiana x ( ventricosa x maxima). It was originally bred by Sam Estes of Leilani Nepenthes in 2004.
Our current batch features 2 plants per pot! This gives your plant a much fuller and bushier appearance.
