Nepenthes platychila

Excited for the iconic plate-shaped flaring peristomes on the uppers!

Love the size and quality of this seedgrown plant! January 2021
I received my seed-grown platychila from Darwin's Atelier. It was my first time purchasing from Emmi and WOW I could not be more impressed! Incredible size and quality for the price! I expected a much smaller plant than this, especially for a seed-grown individual! This plant was the result of two BE clones crossed by private growers, one in Canada and one in Boston. This Nepenthes is already exhibiting classic platychila traits - beautiful sharp contrast on the pitcher colors, curious rounded leaf edges at the tendril insertion, and overall very thick and hairy. Can't wait for it to go through quarantine and start growing!
