One (1) Nepenthes insignis BE-3089 LARGE
Photo(s) are provided by Borneo Exotics and are representative. Plants may or may not currently have pitchers.
Endemic to the island of Biak in Irian Jaya, Indonesia, this item was known for many years as Nepenthes insignis – Biak form and only received its species status in 2018. As part of the species type description, the unusual characteristic is noted that this species does not form lower pitchers but instead goes directly into forming intermediate and upper pitchers.
It’s found mainly growing on limestone rocks at sea level and occasionally in mangrove swamps, but we have found it grows well in highland conditions also, which is why we list it as “intermediate” as the clone offered here seems to be transferrable between lowland and highland conditions, at least in our experience.
Both photos are of the actual clone but the first photo is of a plant in another collection.
History: First introduced in March 2025.
Origin: Horticultural.
Source: From a single carefully selected clone.
Photo notes: Photos are of the actual clone shipped. The first photo is believed to be free of copyright restrictions but we are not entirely sure. The last photos in the series show typical sale plants of sizes Small, Medium & Large (when available).
Climate: Intermediate. It will flourish in a wide variety of temperatures and we have tested it between 32 deg. C (90 deg. F) and 12 deg. C (54 deg. F), although it may also tolerate temperatures outside this range.
