Nepenthes (spathulata x spectabilis) x {Song of Melancholy x [(lowii x veitchii) x boschiana]} #3 -Seed Pod Type:seed pod We crossed our truncata (d)-Red

We crossed our truncata (d)-Red Flush with a seed grown Nepenthes ovata to re-make this cross

It's unique compact appearance matched with particular coloration has us expecting a truly one-of-a-kind plant

Primary hybrids between Viking and ampullaria tend to produce awesome plants

The male ampullaria "Purple Striped #1" produces burgundy pitcher bodies with thick peristomes striped with purple and lime

We have grown it as a lowlander and it does fine as well

Nepenthes (spathulata x spectabilis) x {Song of Melancholy x [(lowii x veitchii) x boschiana]} #3 -Seed Pod Type:seed pod We crossed our truncata (d)-RedNepenthes (spathulata x spectabilis) x {Song of Melancholy x [(lowii x veitchii) x boschiana]} #3. This cross has tremendous potential given the color, shape and vigor of the parents. Each pod usually contains 25 50 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
