One (1) N. ampullaria ‘Lime Twist’: BE-3390 MEDIUM

Photo(s) are provided by Borneo Exotics and are representative.  Plants may or may not currently have pitchers.

This classic swamp-dwelling species will develop basal rosettes when larger, giving the appearance of a carpet of pitchers with few or no leaves. It grows easily in acidic media, but needs high temperatures, moist roots and high humidity.

This is a carefully selected clone with the pitcher body colouration of N. ampullaria ‘Harlequin’, and a peristome that is mostly a pure striking lime-green, but showing occasional maroon stripes in high light levels, as can be seen from the photos. We’ve given it the cultivar name Nepenthes ampullaria ‘Lime Twist’.

Ships bareroot. Roots will be wrapped in sphagnum moss, but you will need to provide your own pot and more 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.”
