Nothing like the picture, my plant came with 2 leaves and one leaf has mostly holes in it. Not worth the $100 I spent!
Nice sized plant! And almost all red! I do miss going to the store in person with my kid.
Tropical Pitcher Plants (Nepenthes)
Highland Nepenthes species comprise more than 70% of the genus. They grow at elevations of 3,000 to 10,000 feet above sea level. This is above the lowland heat of the rainforest, and the mountain climate can be considerably cooler and wetter, especially at night. They are hauntingly beautiful, and their pitcher traps are often as elaborate and gaudy as any artistic creation of humankind.
They can grow happily on a sunny windowsill, under grow lights, in a greenhouse, or in a terrarium. They prefer daytime temperatures in the 70s- 80s and a nighttime drop to the 50s- 60s.

This is a lovely hybrid and is a specific clone selected from amongst many for its amazing two-tone peristome. We are obsessed with these large, tubby pitchers, upright lids and unbelievable peristome!
These are tissue culture plants from the best selected clone from Borneo Exotics, BE-3959.
Care Instructions
Growth Habit: Nepenthes are vines and start small; as the plant grows, each leaf will be larger than the last, as will the pitchers that develop from these leaves. It is normal for the pitchers and leaves to die back over time. As leaves and pitchers die back, the plant will continue to vine, turning brown and woody along the stem. Over time, these form large, sprawling vines that can be hung in baskets or trellised upright in large pots. Nepenthes have thin, black roots, and not many of them.
Sun: Nepenthes should be grown on a sunny windowsill where the plant receives direct light for at least four hours daily. Grow in a cooled greenhouse in full sun, but we recommend 30% shade cloth overhead in summer. Grow in a terrarium or shelf under grow lights for the best color and pitcher formation. When grown under lights, lights should be on a 10-12 hour day length, and the plants can be grown six to ten inches from the light, depending on the strength of the light. Poor pitcher formation is usually a sign of not enough light.
Water & Humidity: Water frequently with distilled, reverse osmosis, or rainwater. Do not let the pots sit in water for long periods. You can water from the bottom, fill trays with water, and let the plant dry out for a few days before watering again. Be careful not to dry the plants out completely. Watering overhead occasionally is also beneficial for the plants. Nepenthes appreciate humidity of at least 60% but can do very well in household conditions without increased humidity if watered regularly. Any added humidity will be enjoyed by your plant! Too little humidity is the second most likely cause of poor pitcher formation.
Temperature: Daytime temperatures should be in the 70s-80s, with a 10-20 degree drop in night temperatures. Never expose your plants to temperatures below 40 degrees or above 90 degrees, as this can damage or kill them. Nepenthes do best indoors and should not be grown outdoors in most areas unless you have very mild temperatures.
Dormancy: Nepenthes do not have a dormancy as they are tropical plants, but they can slow down growth in winter when photo periods shorten.
Fertilizer: Apply diluted Maxsea fertilizer once or twice a month to the leaves and inside the pitchers. Slow-release osmocote pellets can be added to the pitchers along with a bit of distilled water. Small pitchers may burn back upon feeding, but this will still greatly benefit the plant with nutrients. Small insects can also be fed to pitchers.
Soil & Repotting: Nepenthes should be grown in a mix of long-fibered New Zealand sphagnum moss, orchid bark, pumice, and perlite. We have all of our custom Nepenthes soil blends available to add to your order, but you do not need to repot your plant for at least a year after receiving it from us. Nepenthes appreciate frequent repotting every three years and only move to a slightly bigger pot.

Nepenthes ( x ‘Peter D’Amato’ ) x edwardsiana “Giant” is a brand new CalCarn cross! This is a dream cross, combining the fantastic, iconic toothiness of Nepenthes edwardsiana with the huge, open-mouthed, beautifully mottled pitchers of ‘Peter D’Amato’! Nepenthes x ‘Peter D’Amato’ is a carefully selected clone of ventricosa x lowii, which adds the ease of growth of ventricosa to this hybrid!
The seedlings already have beautiful little red pitchers, and we expect them to be weird and wonderful, especially with the two infamous parents used in this cross!
These are all seed grown individuals and this is not in TC so don’t miss out on this exciting but limited offering. We have very few of these.
The first three photos are of the parents in the cross.

Nepenthes edwardsiana is among the most magnificent and sought-after of all Nepenthes species. It probably needs no introduction, but its famous, deeply ridged peristome makes it instantly recognizable and awe-inspiring!
Produced with horticulturally produced seeds, this is a single clone exclusive from the California Carnivores tissue culture lab. These are small plants, about an inch across.
This is an ultra highland species which has specific requirements but many people have reported it to be more forgiving than villosa, rajah or lowii.

The true Nepenthes eymae has been somewhat of a holy grail for most Nepenthes collectors; highly sought after for its wine glass upper pitchers but rarely acquired. Borneo Exotics original release of this species was later determined to be Nepenthes maxima or a possible hybrid. Borneo Exotics has this to say:
"From Feb 2021 we were able to show upper pitchers as well as intermediate pitchers, raised in our nurseries and which will enable everyone to make their own judgement as to whether or not this is the true species. In the narrative to the item spotlight video it’s mentioned that we believe this to be the true item, but with further consideration, we’re still not entirely sure. Either way, it’s a very beautiful plant!"
There’s nothing quite like the beautiful, tapered upper pitchers with their ruffled, large lids, neon green color and bright red peristomes! The lower pitchers are equally lovely. They have long, tapered pitchers, red mottled, and the same oversized, ruffled lid!
These are tissue culture plants from assorted clones from Borneo Exotics, BE-3736.

We are delighted to be offering this beautiful little miniature! The lower pitchers of Nepenthes glabrata are wonderfully small and squat with mottled burgundy and light green coloration. The upper pitchers are dainty and creamy white with, what looks like little red hand painted brush strokes.
These tissue culture plants were made when Damon crossed his two best clones of glabrata to make this new clone. A must have for the Nepenthes collection.

Never expose your plants to temperatures below 40 degrees or above 90 degrees, as this can damage or kill them. Nepenthes do best indoors and should not be grown outdoors in most areas unless you have very mild temperatures.
Dormancy: Nepenthes do not have a dormancy as they are tropical plants, but they can slow down growth in winter when photo periods shorten.
Fertilizer: Apply diluted Maxsea fertilizer once or twice a month to the leaves and inside the pitchers. Slow-release osmocote pellets can be added to the pitchers along with a bit of distilled water. Small pitchers may burn back upon feeding, but this will still greatly benefit the plant with nutrients. Small insects can also be fed to pitchers.
Soil & Repotting: Nepenthes should be grown in a mix of long-fibered New Zealand sphagnum moss, orchid bark, pumice, and perlite. We have all of our custom Nepenthes soil blends available to add to your order, but you do not need to repot your plant for at least a year after receiving it from us. Nepenthes appreciate frequent repotting every three years and only move to a slightly bigger pot.

Nepenthes glandulifera was discovered by Ch'ien Lee in the Hose Mountains of Borneo in 2000. Only a very few plants from Malesiana Tropicals have been available until now. It is a handsome, compact species. Covered in big, black nectar glands which give it its name. It is also one of the hairiest Nepenthes species with old stems covered in long, fine, white hairs! You can even see the fine hairs along the plant in the photo with the dried pitcher, it’s a fun a charming feature of glandulifera!
These plants are seed grown from California Carnivores famously beautiful plants!
Care Instructions
Growth Habit: Nepenthes are vines and start small; as the plant grows, each leaf will be larger than the last, as will the pitchers that develop from these leaves. It is normal for the pitchers and leaves to die back over time. As leaves and pitchers die back, the plant will continue to vine, turning brown and woody along the stem. Over time, these form large, sprawling vines that can be hung in baskets or trellised upright in large pots. Nepenthes have thin, black roots, and not many of them.
Sun: Nepenthes should be grown on a sunny windowsill where the plant receives direct light for at least four hours daily. Grow in a cooled greenhouse in full sun, but we recommend 30% shade cloth overhead in summer. Grow in a terrarium or shelf under grow lights for the best color and pitcher formation. When grown under lights, lights should be on a 10-12 hour day length, and the plants can be grown six to ten inches from the light, depending on the strength of the light. Poor pitcher formation is usually a sign of not enough light.
Water & Humidity: Water frequently with distilled, reverse osmosis, or rainwater. Do not let the pots sit in water for long periods. You can water from the bottom, fill trays with water, and let the plant dry out for a few days before watering again. Be careful not to dry the plants out completely. Watering overhead occasionally is also beneficial for the plants. Nepenthes appreciate humidity of at least 60% but can do very well in household conditions without increased humidity if watered regularly. Any added humidity will be enjoyed by your plant! Too little humidity is the second most likely cause of poor pitcher formation.
Temperature: Daytime temperatures should be in the 70s-80s, with a 10-20 degree drop in night temperatures. Never expose your plants to temperatures below 40 degrees or above 90 degrees, as this can damage or kill them.

Nepenthes glandulifera x edwardsiana is a brand new CalCarn cross! Our Nepenthes edwardsiana “Giant” is one of the nicest examples of the species in cultivation! Each distinguished pitcher is lined with shaped hooks, an iconic peristome! We’ve combined this with one of our favorite Nepenthes species, glandulifera. Glandulifera has beautiful wide-open peristomes and mottled pitchers, but the best part of glandulifera is the fine hairs covering the plant! We’re so excited to see all the variations coming out of a cross like this; each seed-grown plant will be a unique treasure!
The seedlings already have beautiful little red pitchers, and we expect them to become nice, compact plants with those spectacular Eddie-like pitchers that everyone wants these days!
These are all seed-grown individuals and are not in TC, so don’t miss out on this exciting but limited offering.
The first three photos are of the parents in the cross.

Nepenthes maxima “Sulawesi wavy leaf” Clone #1 is the superbly distinctive extreme wavy-leaf form, selected from the assorted clones formerly sold under BE-3543 as having the deepest red leaf colouration and pitchers with contrasting lime-green peristomes. This is a hugely eye-catching plant and its wonderful wavy red leaves make it superior to nearly every other form of the species.
This item is from the same grex of seed as the other selected clone we sell under BE-3786. The difference is that BE-3786 is clone # 9, selected for its mostly red peristome and heavily red-striped pitchers, whereas this item is clone # 1, selected for its lime-green peristome and lightly red-striped pitchers. The pitcher shape also varies between the two items, with BE-3786 having more elongated pitchers.

You can water from the bottom, fill trays with water, and let the plant dry out for a few days before watering again. Be careful not to dry the plants out completely. Watering overhead occasionally is also beneficial for the plants. Nepenthes appreciate humidity of at least 60% but can do very well in household conditions without increased humidity if watered regularly. Any added humidity will be enjoyed by your plant! Too little humidity is the second most likely cause of poor pitcher formation.
Temperature: Daytime temperatures should be in the 70s-80s, with a 10-20 degree drop in night temperatures. Never expose your plants to temperatures below 40 degrees or above 90 degrees, as this can damage or kill them. Nepenthes do best indoors and should not be grown outdoors in most areas unless you have very mild temperatures.
Dormancy: Nepenthes do not have a dormancy as they are tropical plants, but they can slow down growth in winter when photo periods shorten.
Fertilizer: Apply diluted Maxsea fertilizer once or twice a month to the leaves and inside the pitchers. Slow-release osmocote pellets can be added to the pitchers along with a bit of distilled water. Small pitchers may burn back upon feeding, but this will still greatly benefit the plant with nutrients. Small insects can also be fed to pitchers.
Soil & Repotting: Nepenthes should be grown in a mix of long-fibered New Zealand sphagnum moss, orchid bark, pumice, and perlite. We have all of our custom Nepenthes soil blends available to add to your order, but you do not need to repot your plant for at least a year after receiving it from us. Nepenthes appreciate frequent repotting every three years and only move to a slightly bigger pot.

A cross like this really is a fantasy come to life! Although, rajah is one of the biggest and most spectacular of all Nepenthes, it is also one of the slowest. It can take decades to get one to flowering size and so this hybrid truly is an amazing horticultural achievement. It’s hard to imagine a better plant to cross it with than veitchii! This cross has the huge pitchers of rajah combined with flared striped peristome of veitchii without the long wait for maturity. A must have for any collection.
These are seed-grown plants from Borneo Exotics BE-4603.
Care Instructions
Growth Habit: Nepenthes are vines and start small; as the plant grows, each leaf will be larger than the last, as will the pitchers that develop from these leaves. It is normal for the pitchers and leaves to die back over time. As leaves and pitchers die back, the plant will continue to vine, turning brown and woody along the stem. Over time, these form large, sprawling vines that can be hung in baskets or trellised upright in large pots. Nepenthes have thin, black roots, and not many of them.
Sun: Nepenthes should be grown on a sunny windowsill where the plant receives direct light for at least four hours daily. Grow in a cooled greenhouse in full sun, but we recommend 30% shade cloth overhead in summer. Grow in a terrarium or shelf under grow lights for the best color and pitcher formation. When grown under lights, lights should be on a 10-12 hour day length, and the plants can be grown six to ten inches from the light, depending on the strength of the light. Poor pitcher formation is usually a sign of not enough light.

This Nepenthes is proving itself to be a very easy highlander, right up there with N. ventricosa and N. sanguinea. Mature pitchers are tall and narrow, variable coloring, from green to red. The peristome is usually dark red with lots of tooth like projections near the lid. A great plant for the Nepenthes collector, whether experienced or just starting out. These clones are from Belirang.
These are from a single select clone in tissue culture from Borneo Exotics, BE-3170.
