Sarracenia ( x ‘Leah Wilkerson’ ) x leucophylla ‘Hurricane Creek White clone E’ Potted A
Drosera filiformis "Old Dock, Columbus Co, NC" Potted 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.

They have a charming, tapered sausage shape with upside-down, heart-shaped peristomes! The pitchers are speckled red with vivid peristomes, and we’re very excited to see them grow out!
They are from the CalCarn tissue culture lab, and there are multiple clones.
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.

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!

Nepenthes hamata is probably one of the most famous of all Nepenthes species because of its almost black, hooked peristome. The upper pitchers are completely different; they’re lime green, delicate and the peristome is lined with bright green fish hooks. This species grows on several mountains but the Tambusisi form is widely considered the most desirable because the lower pitchers are the darkest the species can be.
These are produced in the CalCarn tissue culture lab and there are two clones.
These do best with extra humidity and will come from our humid greenhouse so it’s a good idea to provide extra humidity upon arrival. <head><meta charset="UTF-8" /></head>

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.

Wow! This exciting hybrid is everything we wanted! Huge, bright-red pitchers are the best of both parents! Nepenthes rajah of course is the slow and difficult to grow king of all Nepenthes. Nepenthes mira looks a lot like a little rajah, so it is complimentary to rajah but is a lot easier to grow. We find these to be much easier to grow than either of their parents!

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 talangensis x spectabilis is a beautiful hybrid! It has absolutely stunning coloration from the stripey peristome to the brightly colored, tapered pitchers!
These are from a random selection of clones in tissue culture from Borneo Exotics, BE-4063.
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.

Nepenthes ventricosa x sibuyanensis is an easy and rewarding hybrid. Both parents are very closely related; because of the much larger sibuyanensis, these will be like ventricosa on steroids! The deep, burgundy peristomes roll back and undulate. The large, orangey-red pitchers have a delicate pinch at the waist and grow to colossal size, 8 inches or more at maturity! One of the best aspects of this cross is that it tends to have a profusion of pitchers, like ventricosa!
These are from a single selected clone in tissue culture from Borneo Exotics, BE-3757.
