Nepenthes Plants and Heliamphora Plants Online Nursery

- Welcome to Exotica Plants -

Geoff & Andrea Mansell would like to welcome you to Exotica Plants online nursery. A unique and wonderful nursery selling carnivorous plants and foliage plants, specialising in Nepenthes and Heliamphora. 

 

  N.ventricosa (k). Although we are noted for our spectacular hybrids, we have also been

 selectively breeding species over the years, such as N.ventricosa, N.maxima, N.truncata and

 N.veitchii to name a few, to promote the best qualities desired in them. Our N.ventricosa clones

 are amazing and this recent one is no exception. Notice the ratio of the pitcher to overall plant size!

 

 

                                                               And there getting bigger! 30cm N.maxima x (lowii x ventricosa)

 

 Our new N.veitchii (k) and (h) forms starting to show their traits. All seed grown! All different!

It will be interesting to see how they turn out. Please post your pics of your plants on the forums as they mature :).

                       

          A 30cm pitcher of N.(lowii x veitchii) x boschiana              Pictured above is our recent release N.rafflesiana (q).

For many years we have been advising customers to buy our plants when small as we take great care in selecting and breeding our hybrids and species cultivars. This is not just a random process where what ever is in flower is crossed! It may be years for some to be able to be bred again as they do not all flower predictably. Get in early :) Above is the amazing N.lowii x truncata. This was a hybrid we produced years ago. Plants produced from cuttings will eventually become available but usually in very limited numbers. Perhaps due to the newness of Nepenthes breeding, collectors still do not realise the potential of what we can produce with our select parentage. Most of what we breed are much larger and more spectacular than most species and are far easier and less expensive in their cultivation requirements. We also guarantee the parentage of what we produce so you don't pay for one thing and get another!

      

Below are some of our recent hybrids starting to show some of their traits.

 

  How they change!!! Above is N.ventricosa x merrilliana. You probably wouldn't look twice at it when immature (one on left) but as they start to mature....WOW!               The colour of these is hard to capture they are nearly luminescent!

 

        Two forms of N.lowii x campanulata. Notice the exudate from N.lowii under the lid!

Carnivorous plant online nursery

For many years we have said that Nepenthes plant breeding and Nepenthes plant growing would proceed along the distinguished path of Orchids.
This is the path we, as Nepenthes plant growers, have been treading and the fruits of our breeding efforts are starting to show.
Exotica Plants has also been using the nomenclature system used to name Orchid cultivars and hybrids which lends itself well to naming Nepenthes plants, such a unique genus of the carnivorous plant family. In case you may have wondered!

  • Due to the ever increasing demand for our rarer and spectacular Nepenthes and Heliamphora species and hybrids I feel I must explain a few things so as to ease some of the frustration that some buyers seem to be experiencing. We do not tissue culture our rarer carnivorous plant species/hybrids, only our pot plant varieties. Therefore the rarer Nepenthes and Heliamphora species/hybrids are only produced from cuttings from our stock plants, some of which we only have one of, or seed where we have two different sex parents that are the same. Even though we can grow our plants quite quickly, there are only so many cuttings we can produce annually. We also have to leave the Nepenthes plants grow so they can flower and we can produce our amazing hybrids. Some of our regular customers have been waiting years for some Nepenthes and we can only supply on a first in basis. Also if we sell all the progeny of what we produce by cuttings it then leaves us with only the one stock plant and round it goes again. This is actually what we have been doing to supply the demand but it is risky. So all we can say is be patient as we are doing our best to supply the plants that you want.

Hi Geoff and Andrea,
Thank you!
After unpacking, we have to say, you have managed to surpass yourselves again. The extra surprise plants are exactly what we wanted, if we even had the option... they are just perfect for us! We discovered one treasure after another in those boxes! You don't know how happy you've made both of us.
As always, the quality is outstanding. I'm sure our customers will be in heaven too. Exotica outshines the competition!
Talk soon,
M&T/ USA
