We have noticed that veitchii can be somewhat of a chameleon when young and can exhibit more striping and coloration as they mature

*There may be some who are concerned about us using the designation of Nepenthes alata to describe the parent plant because of some of the latest taxonomic publications

The pitchers are enormous and have been documented to capture small mammals such as rats

The pitcher forms alien-like "fingers" that emerge from the peristome and extend forward

Nepenthes mollis x veitchii br-trending flared peristome on theseOne of the best crosses made in the last few years, this hybrid appears very much like Nepenthes hurrelliana but takes its vigor and temperature tolerant from veitchii. We've grown in under highland, intermediate and lowland conditions and have found it to be a vigorous grower under all of them. It does produce larger more colorful pitchers when kept on the cool side. All plants for sale were kept in the intermediate greenhouse so their pitcher size
