N. veitchii - intermediate - assorted clones

Description

Updated for Feb 2026! This species is a top favourite for many growers. Endemic to the island of Borneo where it usually grows as an epiphyte, it produces magnificent pitchers, with hugely flared peristomes. Pitcher bodies have a wonderful velvety texture and peristomes vary a great deal in colour – ranging from pink, through gold, to deep brown. Sometimes peristomes are a single colour, and others can be candy-striped. There are endless variations that often don’t become fully apparent until plants mature.We believe this to be the first ever artificially bred highland-lowlandNepenthes veitchii. We class it as ‘intermediate’, since it grows easily and in a much wider range of temperatures than either the highland or lowland forms.History:First introduced in March 2019.Origin:Horticultural, bred by Borneo Exotics.Source:A random selection from a large number of different clones.The female parent is the Bario form ofN. veitchii, which is a highland variety and this particular parent has a green pitcher body with rust-red peristome. The male parent is the Sungai Samba form of the species, which is a lowland variety and it also has a green pitcher body with rust-red peristome.Photo notes:Photos are of representative clones and may not be identical to plants shipped. The last photos in the series show plants of typical sale sizes in order of size S, M & L (when available). This species is a top favourite for many growers.

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.
