Clue

clippity-clip-clip
Nepenthes chaniana is one of my favorite species. After two years of trial and error, my Malesiana clone is finally looking presentable.

Last pitcher -- unfortunately, they discolor at the base after feeding

14453860945_a015a4ee09_b.jpg

Finally a good-sized rosette

14450512621_b4f41ce577_b.jpg

N. chaniana x veitchii -- got this one a while back as a guinea pig and a backup for the N. chaniana

14452501882_db934b6d5b_b.jpg

Continuing the theme of green with, of course, N. nigra :lol:

14267220869_fd59dd5480_b.jpg

Settling in well

14430754846_c04b9b20ae_b.jpg

N. alata -- this is the smooth form (N. graciliflora if you like jumping to conclusions)

14267254690_df0a7f6bf5_b.jpg

Baby N. jamban -- thank you, Paul!

14450511181_9a123af8c3_b.jpg

N. ventricosa -- this clone is good and pale as it grows but still not the North Luzon (aka Porcelain) form

N. clipeata x (clipeata x eymae) BE clone -- getting larger, but would prefer N. clipeata

14267266348_8450f7f68e_b.jpg

Different JDK clone but still not N. clipeata

14267255030_d8cb6d8fde_b.jpg

N. faizaliana this is actually N. maxima Borone, check pg. 6 for an explanation

I recently got a N.chaniana and it hit the ground running. Great species. Good to see the N.nigra has settled in. The rest of the ones I have here have started going through a major growth spurt since the weather warmed up.
 
I really like the picture with the Nepenthes in the foreground and the Byblis in the background. It gives the picture a really exotic look with most of the pitchers dangling in the air.
 
I have a Chaniana as well but about half the size of yours. It's kinda slow for me but steady. I think one pitcher of mine has wavy wings, did you notice similar growth when yours was younger ?

Is it BE's new clone? I have been meaning to get one of those as well but hadn't heard about how they grow.

I haven't seen wavy wings. When mine was really unhappy, it threw out leaves without tendrils (you can still see one yellowing in the picture). I hear the MT clones are touchy and some people considered them poor growers or damaged because of the TC process, but I'm not too sure I agree with that.

It is the new BE clone. Great plant, seems a bit hairier than some of the other clones as well.
 
I am liking the coloration of the 'Peter D' Amato' x maxima
 
Oh nice!
 
I have MT's N. chaniana as well. I got it as a decent plant, and it grew quite well for me. It later died down, but not before it grew a small basal. That one has been much slower growing though, but I am hoping it will grow better as it gain some size.

Nice also to see a true N. faizaliana (which I assume is from MT as well). There are many with this name that in reality is N. fusca "Sarawak".

Regards,

Christer

Nepenthes villosa Tambuyukon -- maybe in 10 years I can retake his/her picture with Mr. Roosevelt (thanks Jeremiah!)

N. albomarginata Balik Pulau, Malaysia -- not sure how well it will do in ultrahighland conditions but doesn't seem to care


14312557869_aa615305bd_b.jpg

Maybe in a couple of years I'll have some captive-bred N. chaniana to give away... :awesome: BE clone has some interesting differences. The leaves are more strongly petiolate, the pitchers are much more laterally compressed (so it looks skinnier), and it's got some nice red coloration, which I have never seen even after growing the MT one outside in full sun. The hair isn't denser on the BE one, but the hairs on both clones are the same length despite the size difference, so the MT one looks comparatively sparse.

Just need an AW N. chaniana and my green fuzzy hoarding will be over. :lol:

Zounds!

I didn't notice the splash of red on the Nepenthes nigra until this morning :awesome:

14559287005_d73e0b587e_b.jpg

I'm surprised how much this pitcher inflated after opening

Mother was an N. inermis on G. Talang; no doubt this is some variation of N. xPyriformis

One of the Nepenthes jamban plants from Paul -- I'm not usually good with live sphagnum but whatever type Paul has is really vigorous

14484456450_bc36e61998_b.jpg

The other N. jamban is a decidedly slower plant (nice leaves though)

New N. nigra pitcher; this thing is super exciting

Speaking of super exciting, N. villosa takes well to coffee (although the topdressing doesn't)

I keep trying to trade this N. chaniana x veitchii off, but I guess I can keep it...

It might just be Nepenthes klossii mania setting in, but this seed grown N. glandulifera almost looks like one...

This N. boschiana (G. Sakumbang) will, hopefully, grow into its looks; the leaf coloration is pretty dramatic

May not be 100% N. bongso -- I could go for some N. izumiae

Hey Christer, was waiting to respond to you with something you might like. :) It seems like these MT plants take a long time to settle in.
14721659678_a4c7770aa8_b.jpg

I finally have a decent pitcher on the way on my N. faizaliana actually N. maxima Borone; the plant is 25 cm across now

14908274245_2f96c6d6dd_b.jpg

The last few pitchers were doing their best N. ephippiata impression, much to my frustration
-----

14721659098_a88bc003ed_b.jpg

Despite quickly approaching a foot across in diameter, I am humbled by the fact that wild N. chaniana pitchers easily get that tall

14721602060_35ba979b71_b.jpg

Warmer nights recently may have encouraged N. graciliflora to start growing again

New friends (residing in a small lowland tank):
14721661688_3c0df826ca_b.jpg

N. kongkandana -- thanks Natch! (strikingly similar to a young N. smilesii...:scratch:)

14885287566_a6b8900561_b.jpg

N. mirabilis var. echinostoma Sajingan -- thanks Hawken! (I have never had something so similar to limp lettuce have so much potential)
