Description

A truly captivating hybrid, Nepenthes Dark Secret combines the squat, prolific pitcher production of Nepenthes ampullaria with the robust growth and elegant form of Nepenthes sibuyanensis. The result is a spectacular plant producing richly coloured pitchers that mature into deep burgundy and almost black tones, giving rise to its mysterious name.

The glossy, dark traps contrast beautifully against the bright green foliage and are produced freely under good growing conditions. As the plant matures, it develops into an impressive specimen with multiple growth points and a steady succession of eye-catching pitchers.

Unlike many more demanding species, Dark Secret is a vigorous and adaptable hybrid that performs well in typical household conditions, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced Nepenthes growers. A bright windowsill, conservatory or greenhouse will soon reward you with its extraordinary near-black pitchers.
