the sun. But the lowlanders are under 2 shop lights 4 footers with alternating lights of 2 cool and 2 warm lights, approx 12,300 lumens total I'm guessing.
nice plants! Interesting to see that your N. sibuyananensis seems to have much thicker tendrils than my plants have. The N. glabrata will produce more typical looking pitchers in a few months time:
I did winter inventory, and at count I have 50 total seperate species and hybrids. At a gross count it'd be around 55 total nepenthes, you know pots fulls of gracilis cuttings, a stray ventricosa on the greenhouse benches...a smaller N. truncata.
Joachim, yes it seems that this clone isn not going to reduce tendril thickness either, seems a prominent trait in my plant, new tendrils are just as thick as that one. By the way, beautiful N. glabrata! Looks similar to Jeff's clone.
Pat, this is MY gallery grr go away! lol j/k I just put it up because the majority are my pictures but I love to compare to other people's like Joachims N. glabrata for example, his looks just as healthy as mine and he has a harder time to provide cool nights, lighting, etc so it's nice to see how plants grown in a greenhouse differ from those grown indoors (right Joachim?) in a terrarium or similar enclosure.
Thanks for the scared comments! lol Seems everyone that either visits or sees a photo of my N. hamata always has a bewildered expression or serious fondness for the plant. One of my family members (my aunt to be exact) was afraid to touch it.
yeah,i know that i was just saying that it looked abit retarded when the prinstrome is pointed in
im shure it will be a very nice pitcher when it matures
btw dustin is the hamata teeth sharp like the bicalcarata's
Matti notice the word NEWEST above the photo. This generally indicates a NEW pitcher! N. hamata's peristome is quite pointy and rigid but nothing like N. bicalcarata's fangs. N. bicalcarata has more of a tougher pitcher whilst N. hamata's pitchers feel like a chinese paper lantern. Very flimsy yet able to take quite a bit of stress before showing signs of breaking.
Pill, yes it is a very pleasing plant, not too hard ot grow as long as humidity and nocturnal temperature drops can be provided.
No, lol I used a pitcher that was damaged by something when it was opened....I'm guessing a bug or maybe a form of rot. SO when it opened (with half a lid and like 3 teeth) I just cut it off and tried a flexibility test on it just for kicks.
I cut off a freshly opened & fully expanded 20 cm N. hamata pitcher and preserved it in some of that clear plastic resin they used to sell preserved scorpions and tarantulas in. Unfortunately I used too much hardener so it got too warm & boiled most of the purple color out of the pitcher so it's forever preserved as a golden N. hamata with a purple peristome. It's a nice shelf ornament anyway!
