Nepenthes ampullaria (Red x Red Striped) FV-150-IC

€22,00
A wonderful and morphologically unique species very widespread across Southeast Asia that develops two distinct forms of pitchers, particularly visible in mature specimens. While certain cultivation parameters need to be met (high humidity, lowland conditions), N. ampullaria is an absolute must-have in setups with enough space. This cross between two red and striped N. ampullaria should result in a vibrant colored offspring.

Pictured plant is potted in a 7 x 7 cm pot for reference. Sizes may vary slightly.
Choose your plant:
