This fresh seed cross pairs the variable and dimorphic Nepenthes maxima Papua Red—prized for its deep red coloration and striking pitcher polymorphism from Papua New Guinea—with the highland N. mollis, renowned for its exceptionally tall, elegant pitcher necks and distinctive colored peristomes. Expect offspring combining maxima's rich color potential with mollis's architectural pitcher structure, producing vigorous hybrids ideal for collectors seeking dramatic form and hue in intermediate to highland conditions.

Why Choose Our Nepenthes Seed?
Unlike older or improperly stored seeds, our Nepenthes seeds are fresh—a crucial factor since their viability declines quickly with time. This means you’ll have the best chance of sprouting healthy plants and enjoying the full experience of nurturing one of nature’s most fascinating species.
Growing Tips
- Use a well-draining, low-nutrient medium such as sphagnum moss.
- Provide high humidity and bright, filtered light.
- Be patient—Nepenthes seeds can take several weeks or even months to germinate, but the reward is well worth the wait.
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.
