REALLY nice raffs! I can't wait for the elongata to grow up, it's going to be awesome.

Getting some nice sized pitchers on my typical raff, so I had to share ;)

Drew, that dark purple rafflesiana is amazing!

Here is my humble entry. Typical raff. from Sandakan, it's going to be white with sparse white speckles. It's looking a little dirty, this pitcher developed sitting on some very soggy Utricularia media. Yuck.

This has been growing on my patio since spring and recently the temps have dipped into the 50's at night. I'll put plastic up to enclose the patio and it probably will get into the 40's with a heater. This picture was taken since the 50's.

Didn't you advertise that as sib x rafflesiana a while back?
 
  • #69
Sundrew, I did! I posted it for an ID and that was what was guessed. I have since discovered the tag that was in the pot. :)

I'm trying to post my little Raff Giant and red squat but can't seem to post a pic off my computer, any suggestions?

use a photo hosting site like phtobucket or another forum that supports image hosting (I use photobucket and the planted tank forums.)

Can Rafflesiana be grown outside of terrarium and greenhouse (windowsill?) or is it not considered a beginner friendly Nep?

Here's my contribution:

N. rafflesiana "typical"


Newman: Totally depends on your climate. Over here it's pretty easy but I've got solid lowland conditions. My guess is that it wouldn't thrive outside of the warmth and humidity of a greenhouse. That being said, rafflesiana is one of the more tolerant lowlanders so it might be worth a try.

I'll admit that I don't spend a lot of time on the nep forum but I just discovered this thread and read it all the way through. 'Lots of great eye candy here. I love this species but I am clear that my chances of growing it are about nil without a heated greenhouse. So I'll get my fix vicariously. Thanks, everyone.

It seems kind of skinny for a rafflesiana pitcher. I really like the colors on it!
