Nepenthes (spectabilis x truncata) x aristolochioides (Rooted Cutting)
This is one of the more unusual Nepenthes hybrids in our collection. Its pitchers are reddish orange with maroon peristomes. The perisome, however, flares forward rather than outward and down. When you view the pitcher from the side, the pitcher looks like a periscope. The plant also gets quite large, thanks to its truncata parentage. This plant is a true one-of-a-kind!

Pitcher Size: Up to 8 inches.
Sunlight: Bright filtered to partial sun.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
