After reurning from the emergency room (as my jaw hit the floor and I broke it after seeing these photos) I regained my senses and was able to reply to this thread.
Also Arie who is the owner of this Rajah? I would like to contact him if possible!
Tony
hope you well now (I was closer to brain shock when I see it even he told me be4 that he have it and very sadly told me about near to the same age edwardsiana that die not long ago and I had seen at list the dried pitcher of it).
the owner is Matt Soper from Hampshire CP
Arie
Wow!!!!!!!! That is a huge pitcher. About how long does it take for the plant to mke a new pitcher Other than that I'm still trying to get over the shock of such a large pitcher.
That's true Troy
wait and see soon I'll post some more photos from the UK tour
and NG I had send you a PM with the owner e-mail
(I must say he is more on Sarr's then Nep. but have some great Nep's that all os us would like to have with some extra space)
Arie
Thought I'd let you all know I contacted Matt and found out some VERY interesting environmental conditions his Rajah is in, as well as physical. He belives the secret to a huge Rajah is not cool night temps nor wating long for a one. He belives it is the pot size. he thinks that a shallow and wide pot is better than a deep one. That's how his Rajah is grown. In a wide and shallow pot. So I am asking him a few more question on the pot and other stuff and will keep you all informed on what the factor is to his Rajah that made it grow so big.
Thanks nepenthes gracilis !!
I read one time that N.rajah has a superficial and well developed roots system, so when I planted my little one (bare root) I keep roots horizontally 1 cm under the surface.
I think to have done the right thing ?!
