Nepenthes lowii – Trus Madi – best selected clone: Nepenthes lowii – Trus Madi – best selected clone: BE‑3100. This truly fabulous species has extremely tough purple/green pitchers. It’s a slow grower but highly rewarding, with contrasting upper and lower pitchers (dimorphism) that make it instantly recognizable. In the wild, it famously feeds on tree shrew droppings and occasionally birds, lured by a sugary exudate under the lid of both lower and upper pitchers. This clone was selected as the best out of 24 for its vigor and robust growth, fully typical appearance, and better tolerance of warmer night-time temperatures compared to other clones. Even though mature plants naturally have lightly developed roots, these hardened plants are easy to establish. ✨ Pre-order opens Friday, February 13 at 6 PM EST. Don’t miss your chance to reserve this rare and iconic Nepenthes! #NepenthesPreOrder #CarnivorousPlantsForSale #RareNepenthes #NepenthesCollectors #PreOrderRarePlants
Introducing Nepenthes (veitchii × lowii) × (burbid Introducing Nepenthes (veitchii × lowii) × (burbidgeae × edwardsiana) — assorted clones, BE‑3980. This hybrid combines four of Sabah’s most iconic Nepenthes species into one spectacular plant. Large, dramatic, and incredibly rewarding to grow, it often shows fascinating variability between individuals. All four parent species grow near each other in the wild, so it’s likely that hybrids like this may have occurred naturally at some point. We’ve carefully combined several hundred clones from two greges, giving collectors a wide range of forms to enjoy. ✨ Pre-order opens Friday, February 13 at 6 PM EST.

Nepenthes clipeata × (lowii × veitchii) – selected Nepenthes clipeata × (lowii × veitchii) – selected clones, BE‑4625. We’re thrilled to offer this brand-new creation, and it’s truly stunning! Many of the signature traits of N. clipeata shine through, but this hybrid is much more vigorous and easier to grow compared with the species itself. Originating from horticultural breeding by Borneo Exotics, this selection comes from two different cones of nearly identical appearance, giving collectors a reliable and impressive plant. ✨ Pre-order opens Friday, February 13 at 6 PM EST.

We will have: Nepenthes khasiana – BE-3098 in our We will have: Nepenthes khasiana – BE-3098 in our pre-order! This is a truly special species — the only Nepenthes native to India, endemic to the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya and neighboring regions, and well-known for its bulbous pitchers and unique natural history. N. khasiana is classified as Endangered in the wild and protected under CITES Appendix I due to its limited distribution and declining habitat. This species is also fascinating for how it attracts prey — its peristome has been shown to fluoresce under UV light, which likely helps lure insects toward its slippery pitcher rim. (Through this discovery, we now know many other species glow in UV light as well). This plant grows well in lowland and intermediate conditions. It grew very fast for us in Florida.

Nepenthes merrilliana × aristolochioides: best sel Nepenthes merrilliana × aristolochioides: best selected clones — BE-3877 If you’re a fan of Nepenthes aristolochioides crosses, this one is an absolute must! The pitchers show beautiful leopard patterning and translucent backs, just like the male parent, while the size from N. merrilliana gives them larger, impressive pitchers than either parent. These hybrids are intermediate growers, far easier to cultivate than their parents, and tolerate a wide range of temperatures — basically, a mix of charm and toughness.

One of the highlights of my visit to Borneo Exotic One of the highlights of my visit to Borneo Exotics in Sri Lanka was seeing Nepenthes rajah up close — including a few plants growing outside. While we were technically there during the “wrong” season to catch the legendary giant pitchers at their peak, the sheer size of the plants and the fresh pitchers forming were still absolutely impressive. Even without fully mature traps, the scale, structure, and presence of N. rajah make it clear why it’s considered one of the most iconic carnivorous plants in the world. 📸 Captured while visiting @robcantley in Sri Lanka, where we source many of our most unique Nepenthes. ✨ Pre-order sale for our March 2026 import begins Friday, February 13 at 6 PM EST. #Nepenthes #NepenthesRajah #CarnivorousPlants #PitcherPlants #RareNepenthes #ExoticPlants #HighlandNepenthes #Plantmania #NorthCarolinaPlantSale #RaleighPlantSale #NCPlantCollectors #RaleighPlants #PlantLovers #LocalPlantSale
