Nepenthes rokko 'Kuzakabe' × alata (Luzon)

Nepenthes rokko ‘Kuzakabe’ × alata (Luzon)

A collector-selected hybrid with real provenance behind it. This plant is a rooted cutting taken from a specimen originally imported from Malesiana Tropicals — one of Southeast Asia’s most respected Nepenthes nurseries — before being grown on and fully acclimatised in our own collection.

This rooted cutting has been growing independently in our collection for several years and is now a well-established specimen in its own right. At 15cm leaf span with developing pitchers, it is ready to settle into a collector's setup and continue growing from there.

• 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
