Nepenthes ventricosa X trusmadiensis is a hybrid between two highland plants. The latter being a natural hybrid of N. lowii X N. macrophylla. Exotica Plants is putting out numerous hybrids using N. X trusmadiensis that are fantastic but this one could be one of the best. I think that N. lowii X N. ventricosa is one of the best hybrids. But mix in N. X trusmadiensis for N. lowii and it might be even better. My hope is that it looks similar to N. X briggsiana but with a more pronounced toothy peristome. There are color variations among the different seed grown plants out there. They range from a greenish pitcher to a dark red pitcher. I have many clones that are all somewhat different. They all grow well outdoors for me in full sun or under shade cloth. The growth also is a little more vigorous than other highlanders as well. This hybrid will be in demand once the initial offerings are gone. That happened with Exotica's N. lowii X ventricosa. Small plants were available and then were all snatched up. Exotica then had rooted cuttings available a  year or so later at $150.00 AU. So right now plants are currently available but will probably disappear in a few months only to return a few years later at 3 times the price. Initial photos of the other N. X trusmadiensis crosses from Exotica Plants are all looking fantastic. There's no doubt that this plant will be highly sought after in the future.
