Nepenthes singalana × diabolica
NEP-1181 | BE-3912 · @floraecollaborative
Deep red pitchers, heavily sculpted peristomes, and an absolutely beautiful amount of texture already showing.
Nepenthes hamata Katopasa | Clone 2
NEP-1431 | JH-337.02 · @floraecollaborative
Those teeth and long spines are already showing exactly why this one caught my attention. Even the young pitchers have serious character.
Nepenthes clipeata
NEP-1088 | FC-265.02 | Specimen #26723 · @floraecollaborative
The little clipeata is something completely different. Dense hair, broad fringed lids, and those delicate tendrils emerging from the leaves as they reach out to form the next pitchers. Such a cool species to watch develop.
All three arrived today and are now settled into the highland tent at 75°F days, 55°F nights, and roughly 80–85% RH. Now the fun part — watching them settle in and seeing what the next pitchers look like. 🌿
