Hi Rattler MT: Nice photos. How is your hurrelliana doing these days/

Gus
 
Hi,
Great photos, just out of curiosity were did you get your hamata? (and because I want a hamata real bad)
Thanks,

-Josh
 
Gus, never have had hurrelliana, yah must have me confused with someone else

Josh, have had that hamata for over 2 years now. received it as a gift from another grower.....no clue where you can get one
 
Looks great, rattler. Nice cultivation.

xvart.
 
Nice hamata! :)
 
Great bongso. How dark do your pitchers get? And how fast does it grow? My bongso is so very, very slow - 1 leaf every 2 or 3 months! What conditions is your grown in? Looks great!
 
the peristrome will get jet black. not terribly fast grower......your growth rate sounds about like mine, think ive had it for over 3 years. it gets 78 days, 70 nights......60-80% humidity.........growing under 6-4foot 32 watt T8's

Sorry for all the questions but, do you know what clone your hamata is?
Thanks,

The jet black peristome is the very reason I got this species. I love those dark pitchers. Can't wait til mine gets as big as yours, although it sounds like it's going to take a while...!

the main issue with bongso that ive noticed is it does not like changes in conditions, doesnt matter if its a change to better or worse than present.......though its not like it ups and dies if yah move it to a new spot....it just sits and pouts and does nothing for a few months than starts growing again...........its actually a remarkably hardy species, it will grow, though not pitcher, in really low humidity............i actually recieved it as a good sized plant around 4 years ago.....it would prolly be huge by now if i would have left it alone and not had to move it a dozen times.........
