Nepenthes ampullaria × rafflesiana 'Hookeriana' • Compact Hybrid

• At Cultivo, every release is carefully selected and grown with purpose. We don’t mass restock - most plants are small-batch, seasonal or one-of-a-kind “exact plant pictured” pieces. Once they’re sold, they’re truly gone. That’s why you won’t see a typical “email me when available” option on these listings
• Some seasonal items or small-batch variants may return in the future. If that happens, we’ll update the original listing with new photos and details
• 🔔 For updates on new and rare arrivals, keep an eye on our New Arrivals Collection or join our VIP list above.

Chubby stud

• Originating from Borneo, Nepenthes Hookerenia is a very unique hybrid between Nepenthes Ampullaria and Nepenthes Rafflesiana
• This plant develops chubby, light green pitchers with brown markings sporting a red peristome
• This is an easy growing lowland hybrid recommended for those ready to advance to the next level
• Nepenthes Hookerenia adapts easily to a wide range of South African conditions and will prefer a slightly warmer spot especially during cold winters

• Similar to other carnivorous plants, nepenthes grow in a special type of soil low in nutrients and instead collect their nitrogen in hanging, slippery vase-shaped cups that include its own digestive juice
• Tropical pitcher plants entice both flying and crawling insects with an intoxicating fragrance, bright colour and sweet nectar

• Plants are measured across (Leafspan = leaf tip to leaf tip, without tendrils and pitchers) and are sold either bareroot ready to pot up or mount in a terrarium or paludarium - please check individual listings for details
• Winter dormancy:
• During the autumn and winter months, growth in tropical pitcher plants slows considerably and pitchers will die off
• Active growth in the form of new leaves and development of pitchers (sizes as indicated) are expected during spring and summer
• Should you be unfamiliar with this plant species, head over to our FAQ section for more information on what to expect when ordering from us during the colder months >> Carnivorous plants and winter dormancy:  What to expect

Sizes

• In Nepenthes world, the shape and colours of pitchers and leaves are determined by the characteristics of the various species
• Pitcher sizes are also highly variable across species and may not be present at the time of shipment, therefor we measure the actual size of the plant to determine the size of the plants we offer
• Tropical pitcher plants are measured across the leafspan (from leaf tip to leaf tip of the largest two leaves, not including the tendrils and pitchers) as seen in the image below

Care

• Special considerations and growing conditions:
• Grown as an intermediate lowlander, Nepenthes Hookerenia is recommended for the more experienced carnivorous plant grower, as they will enjoy a little more humidity with average temperatures between 18-32°C, especially during winter
