Grex / Plant Information
Physical Traits
The leaves of N. veitchii "variegated (k)" are variegated, sometimes being predominantly cream white with a speckling of green. Under intense light the leaves acquire a red blush, leading to a tri-color appearance. Due to the high degree of variegation not contributing to active photosynthesis, the plant grows very slowly.
The pitchers have red striped peristomes that darken with age.
The plant is male.
Growing Conditions
History in Cultivation
