Elaphoglossum metallicumThis is an iridescent fern from Peru with hard, glossy fronds and attractive furry golden rhizomes. The newest leaves are a dark iridescent green color and appear blue from different angles. Its best grown in high humidity. We keep ours in intermediate conditions but they also appear to do well grown as lowlanders by Thai growers. Would make a great addition to a terrarium or tank. Plants grow to 18+ tall. This product is considered a Lowland Tropical

It's already showing a flared peristome

we’ve found Cephalotus to prefer to be kept wet but not waterlogged with water very low in salts (<100ppm)

It's striking coloration is like no other Nepenthes we've seen

It blooms over a few days and produces a stench like carrion in order to attract its pollinators

The ribbed peristome is thick and woody in texture and it's got great striping with a darkening on the inside of the pitcher as it ages

Photo 1 is representative of the species used in the cross (the actual parents were different clones)

We recommend the following conditions:

this clone (BE-3737) was chosen amongst thousands of other siblings in the Borneo Exotics breeding program for its vigor and temperature tolerance

robusta were some of the most desirable and these plants

This cross sports attractive red pitchers

We’ve even grown quite a few seed grown plants that ended up being hybrids in our nursery
