Nice specimen. I'm anxious to see what it will look like in the coming months.
 
I have a couple of sibies, but they seem to take a long time to settle in and start pitchering.
Here's the first half-decent-looking pitcher I've grown:

Oh nice Tonyc. That is a wonderfull specimen. Is that a particular variety or will fc3's get like that too?
 
Hi, FStP.
When I bought the plant it was just labelled 'N. sibuyanensis'.
I grow the clone sibt-28 too. Although it makes loads of pitchers it seems a lot less colourful, so far.
Cheers,
T.
 
Pretty fond of Sibuyanensis myself,mine took ages to settle in but now its going great guns,needs pitchers resting on some sort of moss or something to keep up humidity i find, resulting in bigger pitchers.
Bye for now Julian
 
Yes, my experience is that unless the tendrils are resting on moss they won't pitcher at all.
 
Here's my sibt-28, every leaf has a pitcher, but none so pretty:

I've been wanting to get a sib for a while now. What colors do the pitchers range? I heard there might be a clone with purple pitchers, is this true?

Yeah, I got to hold it today, too. No wonder Santos was willing to trade his smaller one to me. Santos and Co. stopped by for a tour. It was nice talking to Jess on the phone. Santos has really brought us O.C. growers together.

Wow, those are some nice sibuyanensis pitchers! I got one a few months ago from my friend, it wasn't going well for him so he though I might be ale to do something with it. The first pitcher came out without a lid, but the next one is still inflating and looking good!

In that picture you can see the lidless pitcher, the forming pitcher in the top left (it's considerably bigger now) and the basal shoots! I wasn't much of a fan of this plant at first, but I must say that it's grown on me!
