Nepenthes ventricosa x (maxima x talangensis) | Borneo Exotics | BE-3823 | Representative

Nepenthes ventricosa x (maxima x talangensis) is an easy-going cross that combines the hardy genetics of N. ventricosa and N. maxima with the funnel-shaped pitchers and wide peristome of N. talangensis. The female parent of this cross, N. ventricosa, is a hardy plant that produces bulbous pitchers adorned with a ridged undulating peristome. The male parent of this cross, N. maxima x talangensis, is a perfect intermediate between the two with large pitchers sporting smooth wide peristomes ranging from yellow-orange to deep red. The combined parentage of all three should produce hardy plants that grow well in a wide range of conditions. This would be a great plant for both beginner hobbyists and those who want to add a tough-as-nails hybrid to their collection.
