A friend with a greenhouse in Northern California is looking for Nepenthes recommendations. His main consideration is size of pitchers. He's familiar with 'Miranda' and is looking for something with pitchers larger than that.
He lives in a hot summer area (the Central Valley). His greenhouse has a swamp cooler. He's highly skilled at growing plants.
I think he's open to either a species such as truncata, as long as the size and price are reasonable, or to a hybrid.
I assume there must be some really good BE hybrids out there, that might be appropriate? Any suggestions?
He just got an order for outside plants from a nursery in the Pacific Northwest that also sells a lot of Nepenthes. I suspect that has encouraged his interest. He's talked about getting N. robcantleyi for a while, but I think would prefer a larger plant or lower price than is ordinarily available.
I just remembered I got N. robcantleyi x veitchii from that same nursery. Perhaps that's one...
Thanks!
