some nep vines and other neps

[Zero]

most of my neps aren't looking that great this time of the year, but some are vining well. Most are growing fast but not pitchering due to the low humidity here.

Even during bad times, your plants are still amazing as always.

 

[Devon]

wow, you're certainly a fantastic grower.

 

[ellisonk001]

Wow, for not looking great this time of year they sure do look, well great! Thanks for sharing

 

[marvin1997]

Wow "some"?How does the raff does not grow well for you?Nice neps

 

[Dexenthes]

First thing I did upon opening this thread was google albo red! I love that plant!

Nice stuff happening there for being "just" in a window! Have your tall vines ever flowered for you? If not I think if you hung some grow lights up in the ceiling the taller ones should pop some blooms for you. IIRC my Neps who were blooming size seemed to initiate blooms when I changed my old T12 tubes out for new ones. Maybe wait til spring when the light hours are longer and sun is stronger, then add a few shop lights on a 12 hour timer and maybe even dump some Orchid Bloom formula (1/4 strength) through their pots and see if they don't do something exciting in a month or so.

BTW what are the parents of Gothica? Never heard of it but it's awesome looking!

I think Gothica is like maxima x sibuyanensis, but I'm not certain.

N. sibuyanensis x maxima... maybe.

"Gothica" is a EP hybrid sibuyanensis X maxima.
The persitome can get very dark.

Agreed. In addition to all the great pics (thanks btw!), this is a reminder that most of these wonderful/cool Neps that we're growing are actually large vines - & will need lots of space! Wowza!

It looks like a small jungle! Good colors on the pitcher also. I really like the red albo, copelandii, and that raff x amp? just have stunning coloration, definitely a keeper.

Beautiful nep's. just as nice as the ping's. in your other post , great job guy !
Want your skills .

 

[ieat100s]

I would like to see the whole grow rack, please? I've told a couple of people that I was getting a grow rack for Christmas but we took a look at the thing and saw that there was no way to ship it. So I'm going to have to build my own on a $60-100 budget.

Oh, and I mean the one with the cover to keep humidity in.

ieat100s, do you have a lowes nearby? The rack I have is from there for $80. It's big enough for a bunch of plants and fits 4ft floros. It comes in a fairly small box and you assemble it @ home.
PIC of my rack, It has 5 shelves but I only have 4 on it. It's adjustable.

 

[ieat100s]

This is great, thank you!

Oh, and yes, I do have a Lowes nearby.

Fantastic. I love the overgrown look. Great plants! So are those vines supported at all, or are they managing to hold themselves up somehow?
