Nepenthes truncata - alba x trusmadiensis NP124 - 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 was bred by Taerwe Tropicals of Belgium, combining a stunning green form of Nepenthes truncata with Nepenthes trusmadiensis.

Nepenthes truncata alba contributes broad, thick pitcher structure and lowland vigor, distinguished by the striking green coloration of this particular form. Nepenthes trusmadiensis, native to Mount Trus Madi in Borneo, rounds out the cross with rich coloration and refined pitcher structure.

With truncata contributing lowland influence and trusmadiensis favoring highland conditions, expect an adaptable intermediate grower.

Sourced directly from Taerwe Tropicals of Belgium through our exclusive US partnership.
