Nepenthes 'Samsara'

Nepenthes 'Samsara'

A striking large-growing hybrid imported directly from Diflora, Italy and grown on in our own collection until fully established. Combining the influence of boschiana, campanulata, globosa and maxima, this complex hybrid produces elegant speckled pitchers with a rich red-brown peristome and excellent vigour.

One of the reasons this hybrid has become such a favourite is its adaptability. It handles intermediate conditions exceptionally well, pitchers readily and makes an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced collectors looking for something a little different.

Frequently Asked Question

Why do you use Pargo instead of PUDO?

We partner with Pargo because it forms part of our approved fragile-goods courier network. Parcels are stored indoors at local businesses, protected from heat, direct sunlight and the weather until collection. It's an excellent option if you're not home during the day or prefer collecting your parcel when it's convenient.

To protect every order and uphold our Arrive-Alive Guarantee, we use only Pargo and other approved delivery services trusted to transport fragile and temperature-sensitive plants safely.

• Just a quick heads-up: Since plants are natural products, you might notice some slight variations when unboxing your plants
• We do our best to make sure the plants you receive look like the ones in the photos, but keep in mind that seasons change and plants grow. Some leaves might age and die off, new ones might sprout and the plants may look a bit different over time
• Cultivo is a boutique-style store and 99% of what we sell are one-of-a-kind collector items, so you will receive the exact plant pictured. Some are once-off or limited releases, which means they are available only while stocks last. The labels are spot on, so even if the plant looks a bit different, we 100% guarantee it’s the real deal
• Also, all the photos you see are of our own plants unless we mention otherwise. We update images occasionally to keep things fresh. If you want to see updated pictures before you buy, just let us know - we’re happy to help!
