Michael Barton in [this Facebook post](https://www.facebook.com/groups/ICPScarnivorousplantforum/permalink/3876697209230498) mentioned that this hybrid is faster than anything else he'd grown, reaching a large size in just 3 years. Likewise, Helcio Abreu said during a livestream that it grows exponentially and is hardy even through the south Florida winter. I'm going to test its performance as a houseplant, without a grow tent. Michael's plants reached that size in 3 years while in relatively small pots and without hydroponics, which beats the most vigorous clone of [[Nepenthes Los Alamos|N. Los Alamos]] that I had. ##### 2026-08-12 Order # 9732-530166-5165 from [[Abreu Botanicals]] on Palm Street. $18 + $18 shipping = $38.62 with tax. ##### 2026-08-19 Arrived in the mail. ##### 2026-08-24 Without disturbing the root ball, potted into [[3to2 PerliteToBufferedCocoPeat| 60% perlite, 40% buffered coco peat]]. ![[N_mirabilis_speckled_x_bicalcarata_2026-08-25.jpg|300]] --- [[Nepenthes I've grown]] | [[Nepenthes]]
