My particular spec x mira is so inconsistent. Right now the basal is putting out those small pitchers, while the main vine hasn't pitchered in probably a year. Prior to that it had pouted badly, right after it went through a bout where it made great pitchers that were getting some size. It's really unpredictable. I know the basals can sometimes weaken the main vine, but all my other neps with basals still pitcher nicely on the main vine.
nice Neps nightsky, glad to see they are doing so well....
Crazy how different your veitchii x eymae is from mine....
is it EPs veitchii H/L x eymae?
Here is a couple traps on my veitchii H/L x eymae from EP for comparison
Previous trap: the peristome gets a slight bronze color as it ages, this is a few weeks after this one opened...
It's about 10" across, the last pitcher was 6.5". Honestly I've not had any issues getting it to pitcher, guess I'm lucky.
Kris, yeah mine a sg plant from EP. I really like your form, the wavy peristome is great. I'm looking forward to these putting on size. I remember seeing a pic EP had their website of a mature plant's pitcher. That thing was beast!
Latest robcantleyi pitcher. 1 week old, about 5". It's starting put on size lately at a steady pace. Grew slow as molasses until recently. Getting a bit hairy also.
WOW! beautiful pitcher! I cant wait until mine starts putting out pitchers like that.. That plant sure is a slow grower for me... It took about a month to grow a lame 1.5 inch pitcher. Your plant shows its well worth the wait though!
So is robcantaloupeleieiy just 'Queen of Hearts' x 'King of Spades' that was classified as a new species or what? It's very beautiful. Aren't they similar to truncatas? I have a little 3" truncata that is growing as slow as poop, literally, because poop doesn't get bigger or put out pitchers... Well, of course, it did make a new leaf, but it was the same size as the one under it, which died as this new one came in. Enough about my problems though, lol. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get it and how much do they usually cost?
