One (1) Nepenthes ‘Diana’ (N. ampullaria x (sibuyanensis x ventricosa)) BE-4699 SMALL

Far superior than N. ‘Bloody Mary’, Diana tells me! An very easy growing hybrid with beautiful red colored pitchers! Great For Windowsills

Nepenthes x ‘Diana’ is of a single cultivar, being clone # 2 selected out of 20 candidate clones derived from individual seeds, harvested in April 2013 from a cross between a selected red Nepenthes ampullaria and a selected dark pink form of Nepenthes sibuyanensis x ventricosa.

This clone is named for its creator, Diana Cantley, co-owner and Director of Borneo Exotics in Sri Lanka. Diana is very probably the most prolific breeder of Nepenthes of all time, having been responsible for the production of over 2,000 different Nepenthes hybrids over a period of 30 years.

Ships bareroot. You will need to provide your own pot and Potting substrate when the plant arrives. Extra care will be needed as the pre-order plants will need to be acclimated slowly to your conditions. This means low light and high humidity. Check out this video that I helped write for the ICPS on “How to acclimate your carnivorous plants.”
