Saving Nepenthes hamata

[F R e N c H 3 z]

A very good friend of mine sent me this seed grown N. hamata with the hopes of saving it. After a few weeks of recovery from shipping and some adjusting to the conditions this was what I found last weekend. A very nice added bonus to some dental school interview invitations!
Looks like the road to recovery is well underway!

The force is strong with that one. Keep on truckin' buddy..

I have had growing points blacken, only to have new ones arise; or even basal production. Rumors of your plant's demise are premature . . .

Though I am not 100% sure, my reliable gut feeling tells me this one likely originated from you Dave! It appears your foretelling abilities are spot on as usual

Nice job! I've seen quite a few sick hamatas with shrinking-leaf syndrome being sold lately so it's good to see one in recovery . Keep up the good work!!

just found this thread.
I did get the hamata from Dave, I really hated to letting it go, but it looks like the right decision, nice work yann, glad to see it coming back to life after a long decline in my new unhealthy for hamata conditions. just too warm here now.

thanks Yann!!

bump hows it doing ?

Hanging in there Jimmy! You can see the third leaf emerging right now. It'll be quite some time before anything of size starts to emerge but progress is progress (Don't mind the white calcium deposits on the leaves, they get washed off periodically)

Even more valuable being seed grown... Looks much better than before. Like you said, progress is progress. Hang in there lil' buddy! You're in the home stretch! (talking to the plant of course )

Coincidentally, I have a plant in triage from a friend; and it looks like it too will survive . . .

Nepenthes hamata var. nearlydeadasdiscoae

Are you able to keep yours outside with your Heli/HL Nep heaven climate?
