How rare is it?
Rare in trade (early)
In the wild: Cross. A cross of N. ampullaria (least concern), N. mirabilis (least concern). Crosses in trade are almost always nursery-made, so buying one takes nothing from the wild.
For collectors: Rare in trade. 1 listing at 1 shop in 14 days; 1 in stock now. Early estimate: under a month of history.

Growing conditions
Lowland Nepenthes by day by night a typical home the coldest it takes
Houseplant with some help Fine indoors if you can meet one or two extra needs.A cross of lowland parents; hybrids usually take conditions between their parents'.
What it needs in your home
Aim for: A windowsill or grow light, plus humidity.
- 🌙Nights 54–77°F, close to an ordinary home. A few degrees' drop at night helps it pitcher.
- ☀️Days 72–95°F: normal room temperatures are fine.
- ❄️Coldest it takes 60°F. Keep it away from cold windows and doors in winter.
- 💧Humidity 60–90%, more than most homes (30–50%). A terrarium, a grow tent with a humidifier, or a cabinet; or group plants on a pebble tray. It can get used to 50–60% if weaned slowly (see Bringing it home).
- 💡Light Bright indirect light or partial sun; ~4+ h direct on a windowsill. Avoid harsh midday sun.
- 🚰Water and soil Mineral-free only (rain, distilled, RO; TDS under 50 ppm is best; Nepenthes tolerate up to about 100); keep media damp but not waterlogged. No standing-water tray. Pot it in airy: long-fibre sphagnum + perlite, optional orchid bark.
Good to know: both parents are lowland, so it still wants warm nights and humidity.
Bringing it home
Can adapt, slowly Both parents are lowland. Many such hybrids get used to 50–60% if you follow the lowland steps; some only pitcher well in a terrarium.
It's a lowland plant, so acclimate it the slow way (Kenny Coogan's lowland method):
- Hold it at 100% until a new leaf opens. A new leaf means it has grown new roots. Use a dome for a small plant; put a larger one, pot and all, in a 2–5 gallon zip-lock bag.
- Keep it sealed for the first 2–3 weeks. Look in on it often, but don't open it.
- Then open it about ½ inch. Widen the gap every 5–7 days. Getting all the way to room air can take 1–3 months.
- Keep it warm the whole time. 75–90°F, and no long spells below 70°F. Steady warmth matters as much as humidity.
- Low to moderate light while sealed. Turn it up gradually once it's growing, and never put a sealed bag in strong direct light.
- Limp leaves mean the air got too dry, too fast. Close the bag back down a step. Rushing is the most common way these are lost.

Tom's: days ~30C / nights ~20C. Carnivorous Plant Nursery: 85-95+F days, low-70s F nights. NECPS is cooler (80-90F days, 60-80F nights). California Carnivores: never below 70F. Minimum is approximate; cold snaps can kill them.
Likely best temperatures. Estimated for the cross from its parents' habitats, averaged as if from about 0–1,950 m: days 22–35 °C (72–95 °F), nights 12–25 °C (54–77 °F). Wants hotter days and warmer nights than most homes, plus high humidity.
Worked out the way Tom's Carnivores' Nepenthes calculator does it: the average of the parents' ranges, each parent passing on half. An estimate: parentage, clone and how a plant was raised all matter, and plants often grow well outside it.
