This spectacular hybrid was originally created by Exotica Plants in Australia and is now available in South Africa as a special import. Offered here is Clone 01 from Wistuba, Germany – a robust and vigorous grower that combines the strength of Nepenthes ventricosa with the striking features of Nepenthes mapuluensis.
