Tropical Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes) x Rob combines traits from both parent species, resulting in a spectacular carnivorous plant. Nepenthes robcantleyi is known for its impressive, dark-coloured pitchers and robust growth, while Nepenthes ventricosa is known for its smaller, elegant and often colourful pitchers with a smooth texture. The pitchers of Nepenthes (tropical pitcher plant) x Rob often have a robust and broad shape similar to Nepenthes. robcantleyi. The colours can vary from deep red to pink or brownish, depending on the growing conditions. The rim of the pitcher (peristome) is often smooth and slightly rolled, with influences from Nepenthes ventricosa. Typical for hybrid Nepenthes species is that they are more tolerant to changing conditions than the pure species. Like other Nepenthes, Nepenthes x Rob catches insects such as ants, mosquitoes and flies in its pitchers, which helps it to obtain nutrients in nutrient-poor soils.
