Sibt 28

dlybrand · Sep 27, 2005

Hey all. I grow a seed grown form of sibuyanensis and was thinking about growing a second form. All I really know about sibt 28 is that it is a red variety and has rounder pitchers than some others I've seen (ie., mine). Does anybody know its sex or which company it originates from? Thanks a lot.

It's a selected clone from Borneo Exotics. I doubt it has flowered yet, so sex is unknown.

I see. Thanks for the info.

Wow! Great pic FedeAbra! The nectar glands are really pronounced!

Cheers,

yeah nice pic hope to see more color soon!

Those are the nectar glands? I have never actually seen them on any of my Neps. I guess it takes awhile for the red colouration to develop, then?

nectar glands indeed! sibu is known to have nectar glads almost everywhere:

Huh. There are several tiny dark points on top of the lid of my sibuyanensis' latest pitcher (opened this morning, I peered into the tank before I went to school, didn't see it w/ the light on until after I got home).

I wasn't really asking a question. I'm not really sure how that word functioned in my post. Kind of like saying "hmm" but not really... I guess it's not that important. BTW, where can I find pics of your sib?

here!

Nice! Is yours a seed grown BE? It looks very similar to mine. Seems to be pitchering bigger, though. How long have you had it?

well i had it for about a month ago so dont think i got it when small. its adapting to my conditions outdoors. mine has the red/pink color on the edges of the leaves!

Mine came w/ the red leaf margins but they no longer appear on new leaves.
