Nepenthes truncata (D) “Red Flush” x edwardsiana “giant” CalCarn TC Potted

We are so excited to be offering our very own grex of Nepenthes Truncata x edwardsiana. This cross has already been done so we know that it is a proven winner! We have redone this cross using two of the most exceptional clones available.

The Truncata ‘D’ is a well known beauty with reddish pitchers and our edwardsiana ‘giant’ is probably the best clone in cultivation. It has perfect big peristome ridges and consistently makes giant pitchers well over a foot tall! This is a must have cross for any Nepenthes collection! 

The first photo is of the parents used in this cross, the second photo is Nepenthes edwardsiana “Giant” from CalCarn collection and the third photo is Nepenthes truncata “D Red Flush” from Carnivero.

These plants are from our tissue culture lab and there are multiple clones. Clone K8 is the most vigorous! Otherwise we haven’t made specific distinctions between the rest of the clones. Exclusive to California Carnivores.
