Seed - Nepenthes veitchii Geoff Wong x (veitchii Long x edwardsiana) 6-2026

A cross that runs deep with veitchii and edwardsiana genetics. The mother is our Geoff Wong clone of Nepenthes veitchii, one of the most admired forms in cultivation for its bold peristome striping and pitcher quality. The father is our own veitchii “Long” × edwardsiana hybrid, bred here at Jeremiah’s Plants roughly six years ago. That plant has developed outstanding teeth and a beautifully striped peristome — exactly what you want to see when evaluating a hybrid for use in further crosses.

This cross combining the peristome character of two distinct veitchii clones with the toothed, elongated peristome influence of Nepenthes edwardsiana, one of the most coveted species in the genus. The result is a cross with layered genetics and genuine potential for exceptional peristome development across multiple dimensions — striping, fringing, and dentition all in play. Seedlings will show significant variation, and selecting among them as they mature will be a rewarding process.

A cross built from years of deliberate breeding work.

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.
