This wonderful species has a stunning clawed peristome and is perhaps the most iconic species that can be grown by most people. It’s very difficult to do it justice with a written description, but the videos here show just how wonderful this species is. This item is the Gunung Lumut form (the English translation for the Indonesian words ‘Gunung Lumut’ is ‘Mount Moss’), which seems to be the easiest to grow of all forms of the species. The lower pitchers have dark purple striped pitcher bodies with deeply clawed, nearly black, peristomes. Upper pitchers are green with extremely long peristome claws.

History: First introduced in Feb 2011, originally as two selected clones, it was only occasionally available over the years due to extremely high demand. It was refined to a single clone and appeared on our online shop for the first time in July 2019.
Climate: 'Highland'. We grow it between about 26 deg. C (80 deg. F) in the daytime, down to 12 deg. C (54 deg. F) at night, although it will certainly tolerate temperatures well outside this range.
