Nepenthes (orbiculata x rafflesiana) x ventricosa "red," HC B

Tropical pitcher plant

Only one rooted cutting available, approx. 5 inches in diameter!This is a fairly hardy and moderately paced plant in growth habit, like all plants out of this grex extremely rafflesiana-dominant with lower pitchers that may reach up to 6 inches tall and roughly inverse teardrop-shaped, but often with a notable constriction in the middle in this clone. Broad fringed wings appear to nearly double the width of the pitcher, and a thick rounded peristome runs up a tall thin neck. Color is all around spotty mottled in rusty and brick reds, the peristome striped in darker reds and purples. Upper pitchers are similarly colored but uniformly funnel-shaped, wings reduced to little flaps just below the peristome.
