Nepenthes boschiana × adrianii

Nepenthes boschiana × adrianii A striking Wistuba hybrid combining two outstanding Bornean species. This plant originates from our original Wistuba import and is a rooted cutting taken from an established seed-grown specimen, offering collectors the opportunity to own a proven clone without waiting years for a seedling to mature. One of the most attractive features of this hybrid is the way it combines traits from both parents. The pitcher body closely resembles Nepenthes boschiana, while the distinctive corrugated peristome inherited from Nepenthes adrianii remains clearly visible. Young pitchers often open with bright red colouring before gradually darkening to rich maroon and purple tones as they mature. What makes this plant stand out Original Wistuba genetics — rooted cutting from our established seed-grown import Individual Seedling Clone (ISC) — selected from seed-grown stock rather than mass-produced tissue culture Distinctive pitcher development — bright red peristomes gradually darken with age Excellent hybrid vigour — combines the best features of both parent species 16-17cm leafspan — established plant with active growth and developing pitchers One plant, one listing — WYSIWYG; you receive the exact plant photographed Shipped bareroot — the collector's way This plant ships bareroot with roots wrapped in moist sphagnum moss. Bareroot shipping reduces transit stress, protects the root system and allows you to pot the plant directly into your preferred growing setup upon arrival. Growing notes This is an easy intermediate Nepenthes that adapts well to typical South African growing conditions. It performs particularly well on bright windowsills, enclosed growing spaces, terrariums, grow tents and greenhouses where humidity and airflow are balanced. Like many Wistuba hybrids, it offers excellent vigour while still retaining the distinctive appearance that makes collectors seek out its parent species. Quick FAQ What size plant will I receive?

This is a rooted cutting taken from our original Wistuba seed-grown mother plant. What does ISC mean? ISC stands for Individual Seedling Clone. Wistuba uses this designation for plants selected from seed-grown stock, meaning each clone represents unique genetics. Is this suitable for beginners? While aimed primarily at collectors, this hybrid is considered an uncomplicated intermediate grower and is easier than many pure species. How will the pitchers colour up? New pitchers often open with bright red colouring before gradually darkening to deeper maroon and purple tones as they mature. Why are there photos of larger pitchers in the gallery? The final gallery images show mature pitchers produced by the original Wistuba ISC mother plant from which this rooted cutting was taken. They are included to demonstrate the characteristics this clone develops as it matures. The plant for sale is the exact rooted cutting shown in the primary photographs. Can I only buy one? Yes.
