repotting northiana
 
about 4 months ago i repotted my northiana into 12" pot. Bigger plant for a bigger pot and rewarded with a bigger pitcher.

whole plant taken from different angle.

The basal also carried 4 small pitchers. The medium was natural clay pellets + some charcoal.

Another in smaller pot with 2 basals, that required repotting

Big northiana really produce even beautiful pitchers... too bad northiana is really a slow grower. Thanks for sharing.

Rob,i agreed with you, for bigger pitcher a very big pot would be the only choice, as its size increased.

Lovely, I can't wait for my north to reach that size! Robert, how old is your north?

Nice... :) My small plantlet is only starting to colour up. Previous pitchers were very small and entirely green. So I guess northiana responds well to repotting (like bicalcarata)??

Thanks all for the comments.
Edward, they're grown from seeds since Feb., 2006.
paphioboy, repot only when it has overgrown. when repotting include the old media thus ensure less stress to the roots.
