Lets keep a log of everyones record plants. I get asked alot how big something "can" get. I want to know the biggest we know of for different species. Just post your giants =o) .
Very cool. I have a Formosa that is a foot tall and has many many pitchers. It looks like this creepy hand reaching out of the dirt for any unsuspecting bugs. =o)
My lleucophila (sp) is a little taller. They are not very old plants, but getting better all the time, thats what makes these plants so cool.
At the moment all mine are coming out of dormancy, developing flowers but last years S. flava pitchers were pretty impressive, a little over 25 inches, might get some larger ones this year! My psittacina has pitchers abot 7 inches long and looks great.
I wonder if warm nights (85deg) cause the hybrids to grow taller. Mine are about 20 inches on average when they are only 3 weeks out of dormancy. The pitchers are still closed.
I have an alata which is producing its autumn pitchers now but its summer one were virging on 2 feet tall. I had to build a little can support around it as the ammount of prey in it was bending the pitchers!
I have you all beat, My S. Purpurea has a pitcher thats a whole 4 inches!!!!!
I'd like to see someone beat that!!!
lol I'm just kidding, just trying to give my plants some pride.
