Nepenthes truncata x spectabilis male Rooted Cutting (Shipped Bare-Root)

Exotica Plants' legendary N. truncata × spectabilis male—the "Titanic Savior"—combines two titans of the genus into a stunning primary hybrid. This rooted cutting accelerates your path to specimen-sized pitchers with intense striping and the tall, commanding form both parents are renowned for, thriving in intermediate conditions that suit most serious collectors.

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.

About Rooted Cuttings

Our Nepenthes rooted cuttings are an excellent way to acquire a more mature, established plant faster than starting from seed. Each cutting has been allowed to develop a healthy root system before shipping, giving you a head start on growing some of the most spectacular pitcher plants in the hobby.

All cuttings ship bare-root, wrapped in live sphagnum moss to protect roots during transit. Because these are cuttings from mature plants, they are genetically identical to the mother plant — what you see in the photos is exactly what you're getting in terms of pitcher shape, color, and form.

Please allow a short adjustment period after arrival. Some leaf drop or pitcher die-back during transit is normal. Keep humidity high and light moderate for the first few weeks while the plant re-establishes.
