Nepenthes Song of Melancholy x (Sibuyanensis x Truncata), CAR-0047

Currently available is a rooted basal from one of my personal plants that has become incredibly well-established over the last 4-6 months in this hanging basket. This plant originates from Carnivero of Austin, TX and has been one of my absolute favorite plants to own in my personal collection.

During Tropical Storm/Hurricane Debby, it caused many of the palmetto bugs to leave their usual habitat and to seek shelter. In my parent plant, I saw 2 large palmetto bugs (last 2 photos) that succumb to one of the pitchers. Another pitcher next to it had also caught a single palmetto bug, and ever since I have named this hybrid 'The Roach Slayer' in my collection for its very clear appetite.

While the pitchers on this established basal plant are not yet at the same size of the parent plant, they are quickly approaching a similar size in pitchers.

This plant comes shipped in its 8" hanging basket with a plastic hanger. This is potted in a 1:1:1 mix of Sphagnum moss, Coco Coir, and Large Perlite. If you're in a zone with temperatures under 55F currently or within the next few days, please add a heat pack to your order to ensure a safe delivery.

Description from Carnivero for this hybrid they produced:

"A stunning hybrid from Carnivero's breeding stable. Song of Melancholy was of one Leilani Nepenthes's signature crosses and is believed to be Nepenthes boschiana x (spectabilis x veitchii). The male parent is our a gigantic and colorful Nepenthes sibuyanensis x truncata bred by Exotica Plants. We expect the pitchers to be huge, flared and amazingly colorful as they mature. This cross should grown best under lowland and intermediate conditions."
