its been slow acclimating but is now producing two new basals both of which are starting to produce pitchers, and the main vine is also producing its first pitcher for me and it looks like another is starting to inflate

Ooooh, congrats! It's looking great, like all your plants!

 

[thez_yo]

WOW!

I really really really hope my cuttings take and sprout...

 

[nightsky]

Looking great. One of the better hybrids, imo.

Looking great! Keep me in mind if you ever need to prune off a basal

 

[thez_yo]

If you don't mind me asking - what's your potting mix? It looks like bark and perlite?

 

[dashman]

Lookin good there Jimmy!

fir bark chips, dead LFS, some charcoal chips and some large perlite pieces , basically the same as i grow my orchids in except for the dry LFS, I also always wrap the roots in some live sphag when I first pot them on arrival, not sure if it makes a difference, but i usually have pretty good luck acclimating most neps. i have heard the live sphag does tend to grow aroung the roots and can cause problems but so far i haven't experienced this.

still hasn't opened but is starting to colorup nicely , I believe this pitcher is going to be a bit more red than the one produced outside in sunlight, that was of some controversy, as to whether or not this is actually N. peter d'amato . I think glider mentioned that this Nep. did color more on the red side in the artificial lights than in sunlight, looks like he is right.
