Nepenthes maxima x trusmadiensis (Rooted Cutting)
Many forms of this complex hybrid exist. Our mother plant produce very dark, sturdy pitchers with brownish red peristomes. Typically, Nepenthes trusmadiensis, a natural hybrid of N. lowii and N. macrophylla, grows very slowly and somewhat temperamentally. However, the resulting hybrid when crossed with N. maxima makes this plant easier to grow and much more forgiving of mistakes.
