Nepenthes spathulata × adnata

Nepenthes spathulata × adnata

This established rooted basal division originates from our original imported Nepenthes spathulata × adnata and has already established itself as an independent plant. While still compact, it is actively growing and beginning to produce its first juvenile pitchers, offering a fascinating glimpse of what this exceptional hybrid becomes with time.

Nepenthes spathulata × adnata combines the impressive pitcher size and vigour of N. spathulata with the attractive colouration and elegant form associated with N. adnata. As the plant matures, the pitchers develop increasingly heavy mottling and a strikingly dark peristome, creating a dramatic contrast that makes this hybrid stand out in any collection.

This is an ideal opportunity for collectors who enjoy watching a plant develop through its different stages. The hard work has already been done — this established rooted basal division is growing independently and fully acclimatised to South African conditions.

What makes this plant stand out

• Established rooted basal division — separated from our original imported plant and growing independently
• Proven clone — propagated from a mature specimen in our own collection
• Spectacular mature colouration — known for heavily mottled pitchers and a striking dark peristome
• Approximately 8cm leaf span — compact young collector plant with developing juvenile pitchers
• One plant, one listing — WYSIWYG; you receive the exact plant photographed

Shipped bareroot — the collector's way

This plant ships bareroot with the roots wrapped in moist sphagnum moss. Bareroot shipping reduces transit stress, protects the root zone and allows you to pot the plant directly into your preferred Nepenthes mix or growing setup upon arrival.

Growing notes

Nepenthes spathulata × adnata performs well in bright indirect light with good airflow and intermediate temperatures. Aim for warm days and cooler evenings where possible. Like most Nepenthes hybrids, it rewards consistent care with steady growth and increasingly impressive pitchers as it matures.

Quick FAQ

What size is the plant I'll receive?
This is a WYSIWYG listing. The exact plant photographed is the one you will receive. Current size is approximately 8cm leaf span with developing juvenile pitchers.

Can I grow this in a terrarium?
Yes. At its current size, this plant is ideal for a terrarium, greenhouse cabinet or other high-humidity growing setup. Under these conditions it can grow surprisingly quickly and should begin producing increasingly impressive pitchers within a few months. As it matures, the characteristic dark peristome, heavy mottling and larger pitcher size that make Nepenthes spathulata × adnata so desirable will become more pronounced.

Why choose a basal division?
Basal divisions already have their own established root systems and growing points, making them an excellent way to acquire proven genetics from a mature specimen. This plant offers an affordable entry into one of the most attractive Nepenthes hybrids while still allowing you to enjoy watching it mature.

Can I only buy one?
Yes — this is a once-off collector listing. Once it's gone, it's gone.

• 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!
