Re: Random Balcony grown Pets
 

Dear eboat,
I think I have mentioned before in my older Northiana threads how I grew them if you are looking for tips.
They are about 2 years old grown from a cutting.

It's not hard to grow, but it requires patience to find the right place and environment to suit it. I'm talking about a plant grown from cutting. However, I noticed my seed grown northiana is less fussy, pithers readily even from small.

I'm using coarse burnt clay from the nursery mixed with some coarse pebbles. Btw, my potting mix was taught by my sifu Robert.

This is the biggest Northiana pitcher I have so far, 6" which just opened last week, picture taken this morning.

Wow, nice northiana. Your peristome looks a bit too elongated, or is it just me??

Whoops, sorry

Re: Random Balcony grown Pets
 

I'd kill for a N. northiana like yours! :p Lol!

Seriously, that is a very nice plant, and you are growing it very well! Keep up the great work!

Re: Random Balcony grown Pets
 

Thanks for all your kind comments.

I'm just happy to see the plant growing steadily. Occasionally, some pitchers are fatter, some are more elongated, this is the first elongated pitchers that I see so far.

Can't wait to see it grow till 1 foot. *just being too greedy*

Hehehe.......thats call hope and desperation, isaac. :tongue:

Wish your northiana is healthy!

Cheers
