N. alata 'Banaue highland'

OUT OF STOCK

This form is abundant in the highlands of the Cordillera Mountain range in northern Luzon, Philippines and is often seen at road banks, where it is frequently trimmed back and burned by the highway maintenance workers. Some consider this form as the "true" alata, as it matches the original description most closely.
There are purely green forms and striped ones.

N. argentii BE 3021

OUT OF STOCK

One of the smallest plants in the genus. It occurs on Sibuyan Island in the Philippines above 1500m. The plant is very rare and despite the location in a national park highly endangered, so it is good news that it is propagated artificially. It is hairy and has a very unique Y-shaped peristome extending to the lid.

N. burbidgeae BE3041

OUT OF STOCK

A very pretty highlander (1200- 2550m) with cream white pitchers (Later!). The closest relative would be N. macfarlanei.
It originates from Borneo around Mt. Kinabalu. The name of this plant is always mentioned when people talk about N. rajah, so I thought it is also rather slow, but I am wrong, this plant seems to be quite agile.

N. burbidgeae MT6

AVAILABLE FOR SALE

Due to the success with our BE burbidgeae and many waiting customers, we stocked up on burbidgeae to make it available to many others. Cream colored almost white heavily blotched pitchers with heavy striped peristomes, what else could a Nepenthes enthusiast ask for? However, judging by the recent pitchers this plant is throwing out I tend to assume that MT shipped accidentally burbidgeae x edwardsiana, which might be even more attractive though.

N. burkei Halcon BE3254

A spectacular plant from Mindoro Island in the Philippines that occurs above 1500m. While it used to be confused with N. ventricosa this plant really bears a lot of differences when it comes to peristome and coloration. It remains to be seen how well it produces pitchers in hot lowland conditions - for us it grows like weeds.

N. chaniana MT24

OUT OF STOCK

A plant that was long collected as N. pillosa, until the type location was visited recently and the true N. pillosa turned out to look way more like N. burbidgeae. Thus the plant we have here, was described as a new species. It has remarkably large yellow pitchers considering the compressed rosettes and the whole plant is covered by a dense indumentum. It's native to Kalimantan at altitudes from 1100-1800m.

N. copelandii 'Marilog'

OUT OF STOCK

Strikingly similar to N. alata, but lacks the apendage below the lid, while the lower pitcher are more cylindric. Further the upper pitchers might be funnel shaped. Haven't seen them yet though. This is a copelandii form new to cultivation located in southern Mindanao, Philippines at around 1100m asl. It shares the habitat with N. truncata. Recent DNA research revealed that N. copelandii is not at all related to alata despite the looks.

N. diatas 'Bandahara' BE3056

OUT OF STOCK

A highlander from the highest mountains in Sumatra, Indonesia. It has a strongly ripped, irresistable, devilish red peristome. The upper pitchers are more colorful -often black with yellow peristomes- than those of its close relatives from Sumatra. We are growing her close relative N. ovata since a while and it doesn't seem to mind the lower altitude at all. It just doesn't like the dry season and might fail to produce pitchers if not misted frequently. Aside from the good looks the pitchers tend to get huge, too.

N. ephippiata BE3064

OUT OF STOCK

This plant shares similarities with N. lowii, having also a bristled underside of the lids. The pitchers also tend to be waisted but not as strong as in lowii. Altitude 1300-1900m located in Borneo. It is performing equally well like lowii for us.

Lowland suitabilty: Hard.

N. eymae BE3067

OUT OF STOCK

This plant was traded for several years as N. eymae, but it turned out to be just a very spectacular form of N. maxima, which is anyway a very close relative. Our sales plants don't have the wine glass shaped uppers yet, but look more like N. Miranda or similar, but once you allow it to climb you can witness the beautiful uppers as illustrated above. Altitude 1500-1800m in Sulawesi. A fast and uncomplicated plant recommendable to beginners.

This form of N. fusca features a spectacular flared peristome and some of the thinnest pitchers in the genus. Like N. maxima this plant should perform well in the lowlands, too.

N. gracillima originates from Peninsular Malaysia and is found at altitudes from 1600-2100m. The name stands for very slim, which refers to the upper pitchers. During the past decades it has been confused with N. alba and N. ramispina. These plants are not in a hurry to get big while bearing cute pitchers - the word Bonsai comes to mind, good for people with little growing space.

The famous plant that has toilet bowl shaped upper pitchers, which are designed to collect excrements of visiting birds and most likely drinking water, too.

N. macfarlanei Genting BE3103

OUT OF STOCK

A pretty but delicate highlander (1000-2150m) from the Cameroon highlands in Peninsular Malaysia with very colorful pitchers. In full sunlight these can even turn into white. If grows very well in intermediate locations, can also adopt to the lowlands, but has to be kept humid at all times. The red peristome has at some point definitely ferrari colors. Actually the whole plant feels very "high resolution", the speckles and morphological details (the leaves have a very thin red margin for example) seem to be much finer than other species, making already the small plants spectacular. It is also notable that the underside of the lid is hairy.

A plant only known from the summit area of Cleopatra's peak in Palawan, Philippines. It shows similarities to it's neighbors N. deaniana, N. attenboroughii, N. mantalingajanensis and even N. rajah. Therefore you should reserve ample of space for it. Altitude 1500-1600m. People talk a lot about N. sibuyanensis, while this plant, which gets a similar giant size, is less known to most. On the cultivation side it never failed for us to produce a pitcher and is increasing steadily, while growing at a good speed.

N. rajah BE3152

OUT OF STOCK

This is the king of all Nepenthes as it claims to have largest traps in the genus, sometimes cited as the largest carnivorous plant on the planet. The pitchers can supposedly contain up to 3.5 liters of fluid. It is an ultrahighlander occuring between 1500-2650 on Mt. Kinabalu and Tambuyukon in Borneo. Due to its fame and occurence on a limited habitat it is considered threatened However in the meantime it has entered successfully mass propagation and should be preserved for generations to come. If you are challenged to give this plant a try, make sure you can offer lower night time temperatures. We have around 14-19 degrees at night depending on the season, which makes our rajahs and subsequently us already very happy.

A pitcher plant from Sumatra at altitudes from 1700-1900m. It's a quite interesting species as it has been noted that the pitchers become up to twice as large, when they are allowed to form below soil level, suggesting that it might be specialized on trapping subterraneous insects. Upper pitchers are rare, while the plant is a strong climber that can archive heights of 35 meters!

Small highland (400-2550m) plant with funny lids and a steep ovate peristome from Borneo and Sulawesi. For us this plant can grow quickly when it is raining, but it slows down during dry season and might fail to produce pitchers. The key is to simulate rainy season for the plant during dry season :) There are some Nepenthes that are sort of boring when young as they still lack adult features that distinguish them from other species. This one is not! It is a very close relative to the famous but still expensive N. hamata.

N. ventricosa, Manila

OUT OF STOCK

A friend of mine bought this plant in Manila and supplied us with a cutting. A few months later this has turned into a decent plant growing and pitchering at a good rate. It grows slower with much slimmer leaves than our BE ventricosas and pitchers in waves, obviously underlining that ventricosa doesn't equal ventricosa. It seems to prefer the color green - almost white. The peristome does turn red later in the pitcher life and is quite fat, though. Of course this plant is not from Manila, but maybe from nearby mountains in Luzon. As the pitchers are smaller during the hotter months, it seems to be more 'highland' than the others.
