Nepenthes tenuis x mollis (Seed Grown) (Shipped Bare-Root)

This Nepenthes tenuis × mollis cross pairs a rare Sumatran lowland species with a robust Bornean highland pitcher plant, creating a hybrid with fascinating genetic complexity—N. mollis itself carries mysterious hybrid ancestry. Collectors seek this cross for its intermediate pitcher morphology and vigor, bridging tenuis's diminutive, delicate traps with mollis's larger, more substantial vessels in a single plant.

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.

Dormancy — Not required. Nepenthes grow year-round with consistent conditions.
