I'm not sure if it is my husbandry skills or if it is the DNA in this plant, but as you can see it is not exactly all that much bigger than when I received it.
Its the nature of this cross - it doesn't get very big. I have two plants of it and neither has made a pitcher larger than 4.5 inches tall. I'm underwhelmed by it.
your burgundy hamata, is one of the prettiest one i've seen. Is that pretty normal for it turn red like that?Dexenthes
Yes - interesting that none want to tackle what appears to be 'obvious'. It would appear to be much easier than trying to separate the various plants of SE Asia...Lets keep in mind as well that the so-called "red hairy hamata" is almost certainly a distinct species - we just need one of the taxonomists to say so. ;-) But the differences are obvious in how it behaves in breeding. (see above)
This is my favorite shade that the pitchers get, just before they are totally darkened up. Nice deep red coloration.
Some can say what they will, but I dig this cross. Especially its tininess.
are you sure your plant isn't N. singalana x "red hairy hamata"?
Very nice plant, are you sure your plant isn't N. singalana x "red hairy hamata"?
Either way, it's gorgeous.
