We received this particular clone from Sam Estes of Leilani Nepenthes Nursery sometime around 2012. We're not certain how he acquired this specimen, but it is an extremely rare form of Nepenthes sanguinea that we haven't seen elsewhere. This particular form has mottled, reddish-brown pitchers with a yellow peristome. It tends to vine rapidly, and its upper pitchers are lightly colored, similar to the somewhat ubiquitous orange form. With good lighting, its firm waxy leaves will develop an attractive reddish-bronze hue.

Type of Plant: Tropical pitcher plant for indoor growing.
Pitcher Size: Up to 6-9 inches.
Sunlight: Bright filtered to partial sun.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts dried sphagnum moss and perlite only.
Temperatures: Above 70°F during the day; 55°-70°F during the night. Always protect from frost.
