N112 Nepenthes villosa x ventricosa (Shipped Bare-Root)

Villosa's dramatically toothed, ribbed peristome paired with ventricosa's waisted pitcher shape and reliable vigor — this cross gets you the visual impact of a high-altitude Kinabalu specialist without the sulfuric growing conditions villosa demands on its own. The peristome teeth on villosa-influenced hybrids can be genuinely aggressive, and ventricosa's Philippine highland genetics keep the whole plant adaptable and a consistent pitcher producer.
