Sunbelle Exotics is offering well established Nepenthes "Black Dragons" for $20.00 / plant plus shipping. This is truly a great deal for this hybrid. Rumor has it that this is a hybrid between N. izumiae X truncata but that isn't known for sure. Nepenthes "Black Dragon" has a some what ridged peristome with a black pitcher.There may be a few different clones available within this hybrid. Most of the pitchers I've seen have been pretty much a very dark red / black as you see above. The dark coloration almost to pure black is very unique on this hybrid. Black Dragons can be grown as a highlander or as an intermediate. It could be grown as a windowsill plant indoors provided there's ample light. This hybrid makes an excellent beginner's Nepenthes to start off with too. As with all Exotica Plants hybrids, they are tough and vigorous growers. These Black Dragons have been greenhouse hardened off and are well established. Plants available are approximately 10" across and have multiple pitchers on them.
