N. spathulata x (burbidgeae x edwardsiana): BE-3978 LARGE
This cross has turned out to be a stunner, with a lot of variation between individuals. Some of them have a most unusual colour combination on their wonderfully flared pitcher peristomes.
Origin: Horticultural, bred by Borneo Exotics.
Source: Random selection from a large number of different clones.
Photo notes: Photos are of representative clones and may not be identical to plants shipped. The last photos in the series show plants of typical sale sizes in order of size S, M & L (when available).
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.
Ships bareroot. 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 initially. Check out this video that I helped write for the ICPS on “How to acclimate your carnivorous plants.” To see the size and quality of our imports watch this video.
