Nepenthes (Veitchii “Big Mama” × Platychila – Clone 1) × [[(Lowii × Veitchii) × Boschiana] × Burbidgeae] is an extraordinary and complex hybrid that brings together some of the most iconic traits in highland Nepenthes. From Veitchii “Big Mama,” it inherits thick, robust pitchers and bold peristome striping. Platychila contributes elegant shape and a smooth pitcher body. The Lowii × Veitchii lineage adds vigor and gloss to the foliage, Boschiana lends size and structure, and Burbidgeae introduces vibrant color and graceful form.

The resulting plant is a vigorous grower with broad, glossy leaves and large, eye-catching pitchers. These pitchers are often adorned with wide, flared peristomes featuring intricate striping or banding in shades of red, green, or bronze. Its upright to slightly vining growth makes it a stunning specimen in any carnivorous plant collection.

This hybrid thrives in intermediate to highland conditions with bright, filtered light, daytime temperatures around 24–29°C (75–85°F), and cooler nights between 15–18°C (60s°F). High humidity (75–80%) and good air circulation are key to supporting healthy pitcher development. It prefers a well-draining, airy Nepenthes mix and pure water such as distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

With its bold lineage, striking appearance, and adaptable nature, this hybrid is a standout centerpiece for growers seeking a dramatic and rewarding Nepenthes.
