Seed - Nepenthes (rajah x edwardsiana) #2 x edwardsiana 7-2026

The mother plant is my own rajah x edwardsiana hybrid from 2017, still my favorite cross I have made and my largest Nepenthes by pitcher volume at 1.82 liters. This cross backcrosses to edwardsiana itself, a species famous for producing some of the tallest, most heavily toothed pitchers in the entire genus, with peristome ribs that rank among the most developed of any Nepenthes.

Leaning the genetics back toward edwardsiana should push seedlings toward that elongated shape and dramatic peristome development, while still carrying rajah’s influence on overall size. This is a highland cross with strong potential for exceptional pitcher form as the plants mature.

Each pack contains approximately 30 seeds, harvested July 2026.

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.

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.
