N. muluensis...this plant was obtained approx. 8 months ago as a tiny, 1 inch plant from tissue culture. It took a bit of time to settle in, but is now producing pitchers quite frequently and currently measures approx. 3 inches in diameter
A tendril of N. veitchii x lowii clearly showing veitchii influence in the way it is wrapping around its pot...quite similar to pictures I've seen of veitchii leaves hugging neighboring tree trunks.
...Thanks. I got some requests for a picture of my growspace. Here's a quick picture I took of my intermediate/lowland chamber. The design is based on Swords' highland chamber. It's approx. 4ft wide x 3 feet high x 3 feet deep. The glass of the storm window that acts as the front of the chamber was removed for the picture. The top is a sheet of plexiglass with approx 200W of compact fluorescent light and 160W of regular fluorescent light placed on top.
Tony: Here's a picture of the entire ventricosa squat hybrid...sorry it's a little blurry and partially obscured by surrounding plants. The plant is now approx. 12 inches in diameter and 10 inches high. It's growing like crazy...as do all of the healthy plants that I get from my wonderful source.
very nice plants! Tony, I see some space in there - as long as you can see the white lamp-mesh there is still space for something new. Last week we had a local meeting and although I was sure I had no place and so I didn't wanted to buy a single plant - I came home with a bunch of new 'friends'...
Tony: Yeah, I'm using 3 of those fluorex compact fluorescent fixtures, along with two 40W twin tube shoplights to brighten up potential dark spots in the chamber. The fluorex fixtures are great...even at 2-3 feet away, new leaves on recently obtained plants almost always have a reddish/maroon tinge to them.
Oh, and I myself noticed that space is getting a little tight...that's why a new chamber is in the works!
