Hairy clipeata clone 1.

[Clint]

I'm in love with this plant and here is new newest upcoming pitcher. It's so hairy! The pic doesn't do it justice, it's practically like animal fur in real life.

Dang. That's a beauty!!! Good job.
I guess in Atlanta that'd thrive right?

Plah hah No way am I going to put it outside I live an hour north of Atlanta (it's the last country in the metro area to the north, so technically the burbs) but I don't grow any Nepenthes outside. Not when I have a sweet 'rarium!

It's actually N. clipeata X (N. clipeata x N. eymae).... They think lmao. There is still confusion on weather it's a pure clipeata or a complex hybrid. Personally I don't see eymae in it at all, although the tendril doesn't run only halfway down the lamina and the leaves aren't as peltate.

the pure clipeata makes 3 different shaped leaves during its life. Your plant seems to be too young to make the round leaves for which it is named, though I am not sure if the hybrid ever does make the rounded leaves

 

[Clint]

It does, my plant is just small is all.

You could grow neps outdoors in spring and summer. I understand that winters are definitely a problem. What a horrible predicament.

You can put your clipeata outside Mine's staying in the ICU lol

The ongoing debate whether or not it is indeed N. clipeata or not is a matter of a complex backcross. N. eymae, can be seen in the plant, though with suble differences. There was a great topic on this on the boards a long while back. Search and read!
