N. bongso

16114336248_56ab5ff4d7_b.jpg

N. mirabilis Sajingan -- not much to look at, but it's growing as an ultrahighlander without much trouble.

16275957566_a49598844a_b.jpg

N. sanguinea

16115741009_c7713f95c3.jpg
16300093581_43462f9e3d.jpg

N. tentaculata G. Murud -- there are a few pitchers on the way. The main growth point found a nice shaded spot and is finally starting to grow. There is also a nice basal shoot beginning to grow.

Nothing much to look at with N. villosa G. Tambuyukon. It got scorched in the fall with too much direct light, but it seems to be recovering well after being moved to a shadier spot.

N. chaniana so hairy!

It would be awesome to see chaniana x glandulifera for maximum scruffiness.

Growing the mirabilis as a highlander? Well, there are populations known at 1500 meters so I guess it's not out of the range of realism... also, there seems to be three rather distinct color forms showing in them: green, red, and then a red-lid form, looks like you got one of the latter :)

N. chaniana BE -- now roughly 30 cm across

17828865039_d0301ab1e9.jpg

I repotted my old MT N. chaniana back in January; it was tough because the Pteris species growing with it had its roots in a stranglehold and I lost most of the root tips in the process of removing the fern. This new leaf is the first growth in several months and I'm happy to say that the growth point looks healthy.

17394566033_f201987ac7.jpg

Can I call this N. glandulifera a plant yet? :awesome:

17828870519_ee96412bcd.jpg
17827203698_5a908af578.jpg

N. boschiana seems to be one of those species that gets big quickly.

17827418040_ce7097d02c.jpg
17827166308_ce7d486d8e.jpg

This is by far the nicest and most normal N. faizaliana N. maxima Borone pitcher I've ever gotten. The key seemed to be moving it into a slightly smaller pot with fresh media.

18015121825_a665882e5e.jpg

In ten years I may have an N. vogelii worth showing... :mad:

17392483154_04df491833.jpg
17394551973_3290e396fa.jpg

N. bongso is a pretty easy species

17828832819_bbf8155173.jpg

I'm tempted to cut off the main vine off of this N. tentaculata Murud because this basal shoot is the only point making pitchers. Anyone interested in N. tentaculata cuttings?

17827439140_a8633181a8.jpg

N. nigra

17827424820_e490178bf0.jpg

N. albomarginata finally seems settled in

17827173418_22120f5cc4.jpg

The ever-rare N. sanguinea and N. ventricosa

17988646856_c5efe2608e.jpg

Still not vining but it looks like an intermediate pitcher; N. 'Peter D'Amato' x maxima

Is the N.glandulifera from BE or EP ? My EP plant hit 10" in a year while the one from BE has maybe put out 2 pitchers in the same amount of time. Great looking plants by the way.

Thanks Johnny. The N. glandulifera is from BE. Here it is the day I got it (7/31/14):

Very nice Clue! And since you asked.....I'm always interested in tentaculata! Lmao
 
  • #48
Those bongso pitchers look almost exactly the same! Really nice. Do you grow Nepenthes faizaliana as a highlander?
 
  • #49
The last one looks really nice, will be interesting to see what it develops in into. I am not particularly fond of lowii x ventricosa, but seems to work well with some input of maxima in it. My BE glandulifera grows pretty well, not as red pitchers as yours though.

Regards,

Christer

I'll start a few cuttings then. ;)

Do you grow Nepenthes faizaliana as a highlander?
Yeah, all of my plants are grown as pretty strict highlanders. Day temperatures up to about 80°F, night temperatures are mid 40's to 50. I have a few lower elevation plants around (N. albomarginata, N. clipeata hybrids, N. mirabilis, and a lowland (?) N. truncata that might be from EP) that are small but grow rather well.

Man how do you get the drop to 40's 50's year round? My HL terrarium is 80 day 70 night. Works rather well. I'm growing northiana next to aristo next to hamata next to helos.

The weather around here is pretty mild year-round and the natural temperature drops at night mean that I only need to open a window to cool the entire growing area at night. It works rather well and seems to give many plants seasonal cues as well (for example, my Utricularia nelumbifolia are flowering non-stop right now).

N. sp. Langkawi -- this plant confounds me; it sulked all winter, dropped all of its roots, then started regrowing this spring as if nothing occurred. Indochinese dormancy?

How did I not see this thread before? Great photos!

Hope the kong is growing well!

Yeah, I would not recommend buying from MA...it's not gonna be a good time.

My 2 favorites have to be your faizaliana & chaniana x veitchii. Absolutely amazing photos you have here as well, thanks!

And hey! You got one of the red mirabs!

So it appears that the large plant that I was originally growing as Nepenthes faizaliana was mislabeled. As it was getting larger, I noticed that it didn't look like any of the clones Malesiana Tropicals had released. The lid wasn't orbicular, among other things. A little snooping around on MT's price list and several Google Image searches later, it turned out that I had an N. maxima from Borone, Sulawesi, collected at 300 masl (which would explain why it hates cool weather). I actually wasn't convinced that the plant was any sort of N. maxima until recently (at one point I even thought MT could have an N. faizaliana introgressed with Sarawak N. fusca but that wouldn't explain all of its stranger traits); what really sold me was this post on a Thai plant forum showing the spitting image of my plant as N. maxima Borone and a photo of a juvenile from Borone on Tony Paroubek's gallery. One vendor I had talked to in the past said Malesiana sometimes makes these mistakes (like sending N. burbidgeae x edwardsiana as N. burbidgeae). I will have to go back and edit my old posts to reflect this, but at least I picked up a real N. faizaliana earlier this year

N. ventricosa "Red" is pretty different than my first N. ventricosa, I can see why some people claim that the "Red" form is introgressed with "N. alata" of some sort; this is also a new arrival

Looking good! Too bad about the faizaliana, just seeing that apical appendage would make oneself doubt the ID. Still maxima Borone is a nice looking plant anyway. Let's hope your new faizaliana doesn't turn out to be stenophylla :) I just got myself a burkei too, after killing the old one, great species. N. glandulifera is a definite favorite too, and is a decent grower for me, it just hit 6 inches in leaf diameter.

Regards,

Christer

Still a nice maxima... even though typically much cheaper. Thats great coloration on the Bongso by the way. Clue the emoticons on that Thai plant forum :0o: I have no idea what emotions 90% of them convey. Lol pretty mind-boggling :confused:
