Nepenthes (maxima x veitchii) x edwardsiana NP141 - Seed Grown (Shipped Bare Root)

These Taerwe Tropicals imports are still fairly new, brought in during July 2026, so yours may arrive without an active pitcher just yet. They have had enough time in my care to settle in well, and I am confident they will grow great once they have found their new home.

This cross uses my Nepenthes maxima x veitchii from BE as the mother, paired with the amazing male N. edwardsiana from NepenthesDude, who has fathered some of my most amazing hybrids.

Nepenthes maxima contributes a wide natural variation in pitcher shape and coloration, along with strong, vigorous growth. Nepenthes veitchii brings a wide, flared peristome and a strong climbing habit. Nepenthes edwardsiana, native to Mount Kinabalu and Mount Tambuyukon in Borneo, rounds out the cross with its ribbed peristome and striking coloration.

With maxima contributing broad elevation tolerance and veitchii and edwardsiana both favoring highland conditions, expect an adaptable intermediate to highland grower.
