I like the N. Platychila x Vogellii (and N. Jacquelineae of course!)
They all look nicely grown, I see a few weeds in there that will spread like mad! I received some Neps with the weed shows directly below the N. Klossii, they spread quickly and their seeds shoot out and spread like crazy as well. The root systems can become quite intense and I completely repotted a Nepenthes they gave me that was potted and just bout the whole 3" pot was roots of that plant and none really of the Nepenthes.

Interesting! I haven't given too much thought to the weeds. Occasionally I will try to pluck them out, but a never wanted to uproot them in case I accidentally harm my plants in the process. Do you think that they can be harmful if left for too long? I am particularly worried about a case on my N. Attenboroughii. Also, would this be a similar issue with the ferns? They were present in the pot I got from NE last year.

Very nice looking plants. You should take a few pictures of your overall grow setup.

I don't know if it could cause a problem long term, but the one Nepenthes I received that had that plant well established in there had a TON of roots. The roots are very similar to bermuda grass where it sends out a runner and then a new plant pops up. It was growing out of the drainage holes and everything. As far as the fern goes, some (maybe all I'm not actually sure) spread by spore... So those can get all over in no time, I can't say I've ever really seen a root system on the ones I've removed though, but I could see where that could shade seedlings or something and cause a problem. Some of a fern came with those Neps as well, I bagged up a pot of it and refuse to open it. LOL Maybe I'll get a photo of it for you.

Edit: Looks like I finally got rid of the bag of fern. :p

A quick little before and after progress post of N. Hamata. I believe this is the Wistuba clone 1, but I received it from a separate vendor. The pictures are 7 months apart.

Hi Everyone!

Some plants are coming back from the brutal summer (sadly the moss is not). However most of my intermediates have slowed down dramatically. Here are some photos of a few diamonds in the rough.

better the moss than the neps! :p

hope everyone recovers from their unhappiness, these diamonds certainly are shining. How long have you had the xTM in your care? I ordered one for spring shipment but fear I am 1-2 years from having a plant looking like yours :biggrin-new:
 
  • #28
Nice, spath x jacq is really a special hybrid. The parents work well together.
 
  • #29
Thanks! Definitely one of my favorites in the collection.

As for the x TM, I received it from Wistuba in April of last year. It was all green with no teeth and about 1 inch diameter. Now (9 months later) it is 3 inches diameter with teeth and plenty of color. It is one of my more vigorous plants! I think it has produced 6 pitchers since I got it.
 
  • #30
I'm not exactly known as a Nepenthes guy but I find that N. [Truncata x (Northiana x Veitchii)] x Ephippiata pitcher to be exceptional. Very nice.
 
  • #31
ahh that is so great to hear about vigor and growth rate!
 
  • #32
Very nice, I too like the N. [Truncata x (Northiana x Veitchii)] x Ephippiata!
 
  • #33
Thanks! It is a really hardy plant from EP. Keeps some lid hairs from Ephippiata but has more size and a peristome that turns golden over time like Veitchii.
 
  • #34
Loving all the pictures and the beautiful Neps!

I like to tell people that my favorite CP is a Nepenthes. But that is like saying my favorite part of science is the Periodic Table and then confessing I only really know 12 elements....

Watching all your guys' replies on this thread has been intimidating! Casually throwing out specific knowledge and even RECOGNITION of some of those hybrid Neps and their parentage is truly inspiring! I need to go to Nepenthes school and learn all the varieties and parent plants so I can join in on the fun in a thread like this someday! :D

15 years later and still a newb to several parts of the Carnivorous Plant world!

Recently finished a major project in moving all 100+ neps to a grow-tent setup. Some casualties, but I am hopeful that most of the plants will start to flourish in the new stable conditions.

Thank you! I forgot to mention that this all happened during a snowstorm :-(
I couldn't have picked a colder weekend to transport everything, but at least the plants got to experience their first snow!

must have been a bad and sudden change to have to get them out so fast! I lost about 150 neps to a building fire so very glad your situation had a happier ending :beer:

Oh no! That is really sad to hear. I hope you have bounced back! I am not sure what I would do if they all died suddenly... I have had nightmares :concern:
