N. sp1 Ch'ien was going to help me out on this one, but any other input is valued!

Cheers!
 
Nice spath man! wish I had room for one.
 
Yes, I'm glad I didn't get one when I had the terrarium, this thing isn't very large pitchered yet, but its leaves are big and pendulous. Any ideas on sp. #1?
 
What tempature range and humidity do you keep you spath at?
 
Ideas on sp. #1? Is that like possible names?

If so I have a couple...
 
Nick,

Spathulata, in my experience anyway, has proven to be an extremely easy species to grow. For a highland species, it has a high tolerance of warm nights for several months, and seems to tolerate lower humidity than many species as well.
 
they both seem to have a papery texture...
 
Nick about 50-52F at night and 75-80F in the day. Humidity is always at least 60%.

Glider- sure throw some at me!

fc3srx713b what do you mean papery? Neither really are, the spathulata has a truncata-like texture. Very tough and rubbery.

Gret pics, N. gracilis
N. spathulata has always been a strong grower in my conditions.  The plant below was acquired as a seedling from a sib cross made by Peter D'Amato years ago.  It's been "pruned" many times and forms basal shoots fairly regularly.

Thanks, N. gracilis
As you pointed out, it's not a good candidate for a terrarium!
Good growing,
KPG

Hi, without seeing the leaves or bigger pitchers it's hard to guess, but the sp.1 reminds me of N. neoguineensis. Do you know anything more about it (grower, site of origin, some more photos...) ?

I never thought of that Marcello. I see what you mean. Dustin, how do the wings connect to the tendril?
