As far as I'm aware, that species is one of the most drought tolerant air plants so I'm sure it can handle a lot of neglect. They do grow extremely slowly though.
An update on my N. albomarginata cuttings at just over 3 months:
The first pitcher certainly has better color now.
It seems like there's pretty good root mass at 3 months, and the second pitcher is well on its way to maturity and may reach that point before the first new leaf even unfurls...
A pitcher from my poi dog - possibly N. ventricosa x angasanensis.
The first new leaf developing on my U. humboldtii after 2 months.
What the plant has done up until now...
The newest pitcher on my N. ramispina, approximately twice as tall (about 3") as the previous one and with better color. I'm hoping it keeps improving as I understand N. ramispina pitchers can be nearly black.
That would certainly explain the color as the cutting went straight to vining. I'll have to hope for some really dark pitchers in the future when it produces a basal.
Verbena flowers, playing around with close-up filters for macro. I'm not particularly impressed with the quality, at least for these cheaper filters. They cause a lot of chromatic aberration and have a very soft focus.
Pretty much...I heard some scratching sounds and it was just running around, probably looking for a place to dig. I was surprised that even with me walking around it didn't react until it touched it. I figured the vibrations would have tipped him off.
Time for some more pictures I think:
N. ventricosa x angasanensis showing off its "wax zone."
N. sumatrana seedlings (4) at just over 2 months after germination.
My first Cephalotus that came in the mail yesterday. It's a pretty fresh division and doesn't really have any roots yet so I'll be keeping a close eye on it.
Some current pictures of my Helis. The H. minor has a bit of trouble with the moderate ambient humidity but the H. heterodoxa really doesn't seem to care.
N. sumatrana is a great species, always ends up looking good once they mature.
Good luck with getting the Ceph to root; repotted mine a while back, and one plant crashed and is barely alive, the other just making flat leaves...
Drosera capillaris by Nimbulan, on Flickr
This little guy popped up as a hitchhiker in a utric plug and grew to this size (and is now flowering) in 2 and a half months. I didn't feed it either.
Tillandsia ionantha by Nimbulan, on Flickr
Tillandsia flowers grow quite quickly, apparently, and there's a second one on the way!
