Nepenthes (northiana x veitchii) x {Song of Melancholy x [(lowii x veitchii) x boschiana]} - clone 1 -Seed Pod Type:seed pod section polyphyllium

section polyphyllium

All its parents tend to lend thick leaves to their offspring which allows them to be very tolerant of temperatures swings

We are seeing colorful leaves and the rafflesiana shaped pitchers even at a small size

NOTE: We have noticed that as this cultivar gets established or is grown in cooler temperatures its pitchers may be a lighter purple and the variegation may not be as dense

Nepenthes (northiana x veitchii) x {Song of Melancholy x [(lowii x veitchii) x boschiana]} - clone 1 -Seed Pod Type:seed pod section polyphylliumEach pod usually contains 15 30 seeds. We can't guarantee germination since we have never grown this cross out but we have inspected all pods and they have obviously viable looking embryos. Nepenthes seeds are best sown on a layer of milled sphagnum moss or well leached coco peat above a more traditional Nepenthes mix. They should be kept in a moderately well lit area (50 100 ppfd). The seeds need to be kept wet and humid in the 60 80 temperature
