Plant Details

Scientific Name: Nepenthes ventricosa x ampullaria 'Black Miracle'
Type: Tropical Pitcher Plant Hybrid
Growing Type: Intermediate (Hybrid)
Plant Size: Established plant with mature pitchers
Pot Size: 2.5-inch pot
Growth Habit: Compact / semi-trailing pitcher plant
Trap Type: Passive pitfall pitchers
Notable Trait: Darker pitcher coloration under good conditions

Nepenthes ventricosa x ampullaria 'Black Miracle' is a striking tropical pitcher plant hybrid known for its dark pitcher coloration, compact growth habit, and forgiving nature compared to many other Nepenthes. This cross combines the resilience and shape of Nepenthes ventricosa with the unique ground-hugging tendencies of Nepenthes ampullaria, resulting in a very adaptable and visually interesting plant.

Each plant ships in a 2.5-inch pot with mature pitchers already on the plant, similar to the plant shown in the photos.

This hybrid is especially appreciated for its darker pitcher tones under good lighting and stable conditions, with mature plants developing a more dramatic appearance compared to many standard green Nepenthes hybrids.

Unlike strict highland or lowland species, this hybrid is generally more forgiving and well-suited for typical indoor growing conditions, making it a great introduction to Nepenthes for growers looking for something a bit more unusual in appearance.

Care Notes

This intermediate Nepenthes hybrid grows best in bright indirect light. It can tolerate a wider range of conditions than many species, making it more forgiving for indoor growers.

Use only distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water. Keep the growing media lightly moist but not waterlogged.

Plants are grown in a nutrient-free tropical pitcher plant mix designed for airflow and moisture balance. Avoid fertilizers, enriched potting soils, and mineral-rich water sources.

Good humidity and steady warmth will encourage stronger pitcher production and deeper coloration as the plant matures.
