The mother plant is a vigorous EP bred tiveyi and the male parent is our veitchii "The Wave"

It should be reserved for the experienced highland Nepenthes grower

dark strap leaves

It's a vigorous extra large plant that grows well under lowland through highland conditions and could even succeed well outside in a mild climate or in a windowsill

Nepenthes [(maxima x campanulata) x veitchii "The Wave" #2] x (truncata x veitchii)-red -Seed pod seed Photo courtesy of Robin HirstEach pod usually contains 10 30 seeds. We can't guarantee germination since we have never grown this cross out but we have inspected all pods and they have obviously viable looking embryos. Nepenthes seeds are best sown on a layer of milled sphagnum moss or well leached coco peat above a more traditional Nepenthes mix. They should be kept in a moderately well lit area (50 100 ppfd). The seeds need to be kept wet and humid in the 60 80 temperature
