One (1) Nepenthes ‘Susan’ (N. rafflesiana x ampullaria) BE-3737 SMALL

Susan was named after Susan Attenborough, who is Sir David Attenborough’s daughter. They say that behind every great man is a great woman and although she is in his shadow, she is a special person in her own right. She lives with him and looks after him and makes everything he does possible.

Classic hybrid between N. rafflesiana and N. ampullaria with pitchers embodying the best characteristics of both parent species.
Red speckled on a creamy-white background. This is a very special selected clone in that it’s the only plant of this usually warm-growing hybrid that we have ever found which grows equally well in either lowland or highland conditions and which is why we have classified it as an intermediate grower. We have no idea why this particular individual clone proved to be so vigorous and temperature tolerant when other clones selected from the same grex of seeds did not share this characteristic.

Ships bareroot. You will need to provide your own pot and 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.”
