One (1) Nepenthes eymae – assorted clones: BE-3736 LARGE
Nepenthes eymae exhibits very different upper and lower pitchers – a feature known as ‘dimorphism’, which can be observed in various guises in many Nepenthes. Dimorphism seen in this species was a key descriptor in the original 1884 paper by Shigeo Kurata. The upper pitchers are curiously infundibular, resembling a wine glass in shape. It was introduced to cultivation by John Turnbull and Anne Middleton, and all the clones arising from BE-3736 resemble the renowned ‘Turnbull and Middleton clone’ quite closely, with some being nearly identical. For a while, until we had produced many upper pitchers on many different clones, we were cautious about naming this item as the true species and used to sell it under a disclaimer, but for years now, we have been confident that BE-3736 is the real deal.

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.”
