N. rajah x robcantleyi – single clone: BE-4019 MEDIUM
If you imagine a dream hybrid between two species in the genus with the largest pitchers, this might well be it! It’s been decades in coming and we only managed to germinate a single seed from the grex, so it’s of one clone and that’s the reason it took a very long time to multiply up in to the point where we could supply an at all, even on the auctions and then finally make it generally available in larger sizes in March 2025.
At the time of launch, we still haven’t grown this item out to its full potential, it will eventually become massive!
Origin: Horticultural, bred by Borneo Exotics. The female parent is a Nepenthes rajah, which is one of the four clones donated in-vitro from the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew in the 1990s. The male parent is the giant black Nepenthes robcantleyi, with the cultivar name ‘King of Spades’.
Source: From a single clone.
Photo notes: Plants shipped are of the same clone as shown in these photos.
Climate: Highland. We grow it between about 26 deg. C (80 deg. F) in the daytime, down to 12 deg. C (54 deg. F) at night, although it will certainly tolerate temperatures well outside this range.
