Due to lack of sleep and the otherwise hecktick lifestyle associated with having a newborn (good excuse, eh?) I have completely forgotten who just recently sent me a rooted cutting of N. x 'Ise de France.' Would the guilty party please step forward?
Right! Thanks, SF, I'd forgotten completely...You also sent the gracilis clone. The 'Ise de France' has taken off like a shot! I have it in lowland conditions. I forget exactly when you sent it, but I don't think it was that long ago. It's forming it's first pitcher!
your still lurking around Snowy? i thought yah left us. my Ile de France cutting you sent is also growing like a weed and should open its first pitcher in a week or so. was it really a cutting? i swear the way its been growing it was rooted but i forgot soon after i planted it. its growing faster than any other nep i have including Rokko and Ventrata. the coccinea stems you sent also are growing great.
poor Snowy has decided to get his "priorities straight" and has quit CP's for the time being(we all KNOW he'll be back, it is an addiction after all) im not sure when schoalty got his but i got mine when he was getting rid of his collection. i havent seen it on many grow lists but if mine keeps growing at the current rate i may have a cutting or two for trade by fall.
Yep, I'm still lurking. Ya never know when I might pop back in! Gotta make sure I'm not forgotten
The cuttings had been rooting for several months before I sent them to you guys. Be sure and post a pic when the pitchers mature, I never got to see one
Emesis,
The cutting you gave me is pitchering as we speak. I'd say the pitcher is 3/4, or more, of the way to opening. I'll post pictures when it does. It took forever for the cutting to root, but once it did, it started growing like crazy!
I have been growing mine w/ low humidity. (I should probably increase the humidity.) Two out four woody stem cuttings survived. Moreover, only one of the cuttings has put out a small pitcher and it doesn't seem like there's a tendril.
The parent plant is in my mezzanine section, which has even lower humidity & higher temps. So far nothing but new shoots are growing.
I've got a lower pitcher coming on my cutting that's about the same size, maybe bigger. The new leaf on my cutting is VERY large, about 7 or 8 inches. Compared to my other Ile de France cutting, it's a lot redder pitcher too, despite being on the same shelf. I'll get a pic up tonight even though it's not open yet.
Thanks for the pics Capslock. Heh, the only pitcher that present on one of my N. 'Ile de France' plant is 1/2 an inch tall and it looks somewhat mutant. It's nice to see what a full-sized pitcher looks like.
Maybe next time I'll wait for the Nepenthes to pitcher before lowering the humidity.
