Variant

Nepenthes mirabilis var. globosa × ampullaria 'Black Miracle' is a showstopping hybrid that combines the best traits of two iconic lowland species, made even more extraordinary with the dark genetics of the ampullaria cultivar 'Black Miracle'. This cross produces compact yet fierce plants with bold, black-striped pitchers and striking foliage that often appears “variegated” in deep shades of purple, green, and near-black. The pitchers are squat, richly coloured, and textured — a beautiful blend of form and function. A must-have for collectors, this hybrid thrives in warm, humid conditions and offers year-round visual drama.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Pro tips

Grow Nepenthes mirabilis var. globosa × ampullaria 'Black Miracle' in a well-draining, airy mix such as sphagnum moss with perlite or orchid bark. Maintain high humidity and avoid cold drafts or temperature drops. Feed the pitchers monthly with diluted orchid fertilizer or drop small insects directly into the pitchers — do not fertilize the soil. Rotate occasionally to ensure balanced growth. Given the bold foliage and colour variation, this plant does best in consistent lighting and warm, lowland conditions year-round.

Care Guide

How to take care of Nepenthes Mirabilis Var. Globosa x Ampullaria Black Miracle

Sun: Indirect

Nepenthes mirabilis var. globosa × ampullaria 'Black Miracle' should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Bright

Nepenthes mirabilis var. globosa × ampullaria 'Black Miracle' will do best in bright light. A nice bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window, either with or without blinds, depending on if the plant can handle sun. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When top quarter dry

Allow the top quarter of the soil to dry before watering Nepenthes mirabilis var. globosa × ampullaria 'Black Miracle' again. This usually takes about 3 - 4 days in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: High

Nepenthes mirabilis var. globosa × ampullaria 'Black Miracle' likes a high humidity environment, give them a mist daily or as often as possible. Alternatively, you can put them around a humidifier. Although they won't die if they don't receive enough humidity, their leaves may have some dry, crunchy, or yellow edges.

Pet Caution

Nepenthes mirabilis var. globosa × ampullaria 'Black Miracle' is moderately toxic and can cause some adverse reactions when ingested so it is best to not let your pets eat it, which we advise for all plants in general. The severity of the reaction will depend on how much of the plant is ingested but, if you know your pet typically does not eat your plants, this plant will be suitable for your home.

Plant Story

Introducing Nepenthes mirabilis var. globosa × ampullaria 'Black Miracle' — a shadowy sculptor of the plant world that reminds us power can be elegant, strange, and beautifully contained.

This extraordinary hybrid draws from two iconic parents — the sculpted roundness of mirabilis var. globosa, and the earthy mystery of ampullaria ‘Black Miracle’. The result? A plant that looks like it was conjured from deep jungle dusk. Its leaves often emerge with dark, almost black variegation, while its pitchers are equally dramatic — bulbous, striped, and cloaked in moody tones.

This is a plant that thrives in bright, filtered light, where it can stretch and grow without scorching. High humidity and consistent warmth are key — it’s tropical to the core and appreciates an environment that mimics its lush forest origins.

Keep the soil evenly moist with pure water (distilled or rainwater only), and allow the plant to sit in a shallow tray of water if humidity needs a boost. Patience is rewarded: over time, the pitchers mature into elegant, architectural forms that feel more like living art than carnivorous traps.

While some Nepenthes make a quiet entrance, this one arrives with presence. Whether you're drawn to its dark tones, rare lineage, or simply want a living display of controlled wildness, this hybrid delivers — and then some.

Welcome Nepenthes 'Black Miracle' into your space, and let it ground your collection in bold beauty, quiet strength, and the thrill of the unknown. It’s not just a plant; it’s a living artifact — proof that mystery, when nurtured, becomes magnificence.
