Nepenthes peltata, BE-4025 highland A lowland form of veitchii

A lowland form of veitchii with characteristic elongated pitchers and leaves

peristome and color is incredible even at a young size and it's even more extreme on our larger plants

We grow this one under intermediate and highland conditions but also suspect it would do well as a highlander

or fluorite (Seachem) but don’t think it’s a necessity since we’ve seen stunning specimens cultivated in organic mixes

field observations have been made from afar of campanulata-like plants growing on vertical limestone cliffs on the Phillipine island of Palawan

Nepenthes peltata, BE-4025 highland A lowland form of veitchiiNepenthes peltata comes from Mindanao in the Phillipines. Its quite a variable species in both stature and color but generally produces very robust, tubby pitchers with a very wide mouth. The tendril insertion is peltate (meaning coming from inside the leaf) but plants have to be fairly large to exhibit this characteristic. Its documented to grow from 800 meters to over 1600 meters so its likely tolerant of a wide range of conditions. Weve grown it
