N. samudera - single clone: BE-3172 *Pre-Order*

We first introduced this species to cultivation back in 2006 as our ‘Nepenthes sp. # 1’. There are no other species anywhere in the region that could have hybridised to produce something like this, so we’ve always strongly suspected it to be a distinct species and waited for many years for someone to publish it. Finally, it was described and published as a distinct species in February 2024. As this species is data deficient under IUCN guidelines and has not been surveyed in the wild, it’s possible, or even likely, that it may be extinct in the wild due to habitat destruction. A synopsis of the published paper describing this species can be viewed It’s an easy grower with spectacular bulbous, red-striped pitchers which can reach 40cm (16”) in height. As no locale information is available, we classify this species as intermediate, based upon our observations in cultivation.

History: First introduced to cultivation in 2006.

Climate: 'Intermediate', which means it will flourish in a wide range of temperatures. We have tested it from 12 - 32 deg. C (54 - 90 deg. F), although it will tolerate temperatures outside this range.
