Chaniana and Friends

**Clue** · 09-08-2017, 02:36 PM

A new one, Nepenthes rajah x jacquelineae. I hope this one does well for me, neither parent has proven an easy grower for me.

My mama N. ventricosa is in spike for the second time this year. I would love to make some seed but time constraints don't allow it.

N. adnata is finally out of its funk, turns out it needed fresh media.

I finally have a halfway decent N. burkei pitcher! And it only took over two years!!

N. platychila is proving to be a good grower, I'm excited to grow this new TC clone out!

Bonsai N. northiana since I don't have space for a full-grown monster. Oddly this is one of the easiest lowlanders I have ever grown, it's never given me any trouble.

N. vieillardii new intermediate pitcher.

N. sp. 1 (Sumatra) has been a very easy plant so far, it is a surprisingly fast grower and is quickly gaining some size.

Nepenthes copelandii Apo and zygon Pasian

N. copelandii (Mt. Apo) and N. zygon (Mt. Pasian) -- although N. zygon was the "Pasian copelandii", these species are very distinct and the separation seems warranted. N. zygon is a very pretty species, it's a shame it's basically impossible to find now.

I didn't know you grew northiana. It looks great, although the container you have for it seems pretty small. Both the copelandii and the zygon look nice too. The side-by-side pic really highlights the differences between them.

Very nice! Love the zygon, both it and copelandii are very underrated species IMO

You've got some really nice Neps there! What sort of conditions do you provide for the xiphioides?

**Grey Moss** · 11-23-2017, 07:32 PM

I like your singalana. They're both really nice examples of the species. Mine seems closer to your first one.

Nice to see the zygon coloring up. And your nigra looks amazing!

Thanks Nim, I don't give the N. xiphioides any special conditions. It grows as a regular highlander. I used to keep it shaded when it was still a cutting but after acclimating it to more light, the lamina's gotten much smaller and redder.

The Belirang clones are highly underrated IMO, they're definitely less popular than the hyped-up Tujuh form but excellent plants! The two clones I have could theoretically be the same clone (since there are only 9 of them in the batch), at least some of the difference is because the first one is less mature than the second.

I was thrilled to see how colorful the N. zygon got, I didn't expect it to look so nice; it's working on a basal or two right now, I'm very excited to see some lowers. The N. nigra is still giving me some trouble but that pitcher does look nice.
