Red Queen
Most beautiful nepenthes in my collection. Came with a fully developed pitcher and another on the way.
A spectacular creation from the Victorian age of Nepenthes horticulture, N. Tiveyi ("tivvey-ai") is a cross between two highland species, N. maxima x veitchii. The clone Red Queen originated from Exotica Plants in Australia and has proven to be an absolute gem. It produces one of the most spectacular pitchers we've ever seen. The lower traps are brightly colored with orange and red blotches, and the peristome is boldly striped orange, red, and yellow. This plant also adapts amazingly well as a houseplant. We had one growing in our kitchen window for a winter, and it produced several nice pitchers, though they were smaller than the plants we kept in our greenhouse. Still, it's a fantastic plant that can take a wide range of temperature and humidity.

Best packaging EVER!
My N. X Tiveyi arrived in ABSOLUTELY PERFECT condition! Every leaf, pitcher, gosh, even every soil particle was perfectly wrapped so nothing was bruised or damaged. My plant didn’t skip a beat - since its arrival it has not only maintained the pitcher it came with, but rapidly but out two perfect leaves and already has a basal shoot!

Excellent plant!
Been looking for this Victorian hybrid for a long time. It is growing wonderfully well and can't wait to see how it pitchers in the next several months.

Amazing Plant!
The Nepenthes x tiveyi arrived well packaged, strong & healthy, and is a beautiful plant with incredible pitchers. It came with one pitcher fully mature already but a month later already started growing 2 more. This may be my new favorite plant in my entire carnivorous plant collection so it was well worth the price imho!

In a months time...
Originally from California where I grew a large collection of exotics I felt that an increase of light would produce better results. The plant now has vigorous growth with new leaf formation and pitchers beginning to form and the original pitcher has brilliant color. The trick will be maintaining the light through the winter months this far north during the winter months in the Pacific Northwest where the sun rarely shows. I'll research growing lights and enclosed controlled environment furniture cases for winter survival.

Delivered quickly, super healthy plant
Tiveyi came quickly and was about a 10 inch tall plant with 2 growth points! I am amazed by the fantastic quality offered in SNW's hardened nepenthes!

slow & easy
It is growing slow but beautifully. Took a little time to adjust to my garden window but now that it has, one of the two tendrils has produced a pitcher and a new one has developed.
