A seed-grown cross just starting to reach safe shipping size, and with a lot of potential in the dark and tubby arena. Adult plants are of course unknown so far (and don’t expect them to look like “Rebecca Soper,” which is a ramispina and not gracillima cross), but plants already show potential to have rich red or maroon-tinted green leaves and tubby, moderately to heavily patterned deep red to purple pitchers. If truly a gracillima hybrid uppers will likely be fairly slender and heavily patterned; if the male parent turns out to be alba, uppers may be very pale reddish in color.
Plants are currently around 1″ in diameter, each seed-grown and unique.
Plants are shipped bare-root wrapped in a moist paper towel, via USPS Priority mail; I typically ship Monday-Wednesday to avoid weekend hold-overs. US shipping only. Many plants are grown in high humidity conditions and may require acclimation, unless otherwise noted. If you are expecting weather that may be detrimental to the plants if shipped, please message me upon making your order! Shipping cost includes heat pack for winter conditions. If there are issues with the plants upon arrival, please contact me within 48 hours of receipt.

So far so good, the little guy has acclimated nicely to a hollowed out pumice stone filled with live sphagnum moss. Two new leaves have grown with tiny pitchers, and a third is on its way. I did lose two of the pitchers it was shipped with, they started blackening, so carefully removed them to preserve the leaf. All in all as expected.
Shipping was packaged well with a heat pack and easily made it to cold New England in march. Would recommend again!
