Nepenthes Gentle – The Speckled Classic This classic and much-loved hybrid, uniting the grand stature of Nepenthes maxima with the intricate elegance of Nepenthes fusca, is an absolute joy to cultivate. This highly adaptable INTERMEDIATE grower is legendary for its exceptionally easy-going nature, making it a spectacular starting point for newcomers while remaining a firm favorite among seasoned collectors. The plant produces beautifully long, slender pitchers that feature a velvety texture and are covered in a striking pattern of dense, dark purplish-red speckles. The true highlight of this robust performer is its wide, glossy leaves and the elegantly flared, striped peristome that frames the mouth of each pitcher. It exhibits incredible high-energy growth, climbing vigorously and readily producing multiple side shoots that quickly form a lush, cascading display of colorful traps.
