Nepenthes naga Paul B. x peltata (Seed Grown) (Shipped Bare-Root)

This compelling cross unites Sumatra's montane N. naga—prized for its distinctive forked lid appendage and undulate peristome—with the rare Philippine endemic N. peltata from Mount Hamiguitan's upper slopes. Collectors pursue this hybrid for the genetic fusion of two geographically isolated species, anticipating pitchers that showcase N. naga's iconic lid architecture while inheriting N. peltata's intermediate-altitude vigor and pitcher morphology.

Care Requirements

Light — Bright indirect light. Avoid intense direct midday sun.

Water — Pure water only, under 50ppm dissolved solids. Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Do not use the tray method.

Soil — Well-draining mix of live sphagnum, perlite, or coco coir. Avoid heavy peat mixes.

Temperature — Highland species: days 70–80°F, nights 45–60°F. Lowland species: warm year-round, 75–90°F. Check your specific plant's requirements.

Humidity — 70–90% preferred. A greenhouse, grow tent, or humid windowsill works well.
