:laugh: WOW!
NICE!! I dont know how long mine will take...

Any picture of the overall northiana plant? The leaf span....

How long it took to pitcher normally? For it to acclimatise? years? or months?

Re: Preview of my Adult Northiana Picture
 

The leaf Span is about 1.5 feet or less but the tendrils are easily 2 feet or longer.

Took me 2 years to get it to pitcher (first time) in my balcony. That's why it was really a relieve and joy when the pitcher finally developed and opened. All this while I only see tendrils that doesn't form pitcher (even 2 feet long tendrils). God knows how many tendrils I waited. Now the one actively producing pitchers is the side shoot, I suspect the main shoot will eventually die off or stunted.

This is how it was last June (2007). (6-8 inches pot)

This is the plant whole plant. (About 2 feet height). As for size comparison, the pot it sits in is about 6-8 inches pot.

Wah Issac, your N. northiana is so beautiful, make me jealous. Mine used to grow pitchers once but small, I shifted it to a more shady place to see if the pitcher grow bigger, but no!!! No more pitchers ever grown since then!!! I quickly moved it back to a sunny spot, now it started to show sign of pitcher forming, no pitchers to post yet.

I'm excited for you Isaac. Nice glistering peristome

TS,

They like a lot of SUN. Same happened to me, they refused to pitcher when it's at a shady location.

David,

Thanks, this is just a happy moment for me to share with you guys. I know for a lot, northiana pitchering is nothing new, but to me, this is exciting times.

Rgds,
Isaac

I was informed by a friend that the Northiana's pitcher will keep transforming.

Here's the evidence! Look at the peristome and the spots on the pitcher.

He even mentioned that the pitcher is maybe still capable of growing further twice the original size.

Hope your's will turn out to be just as wonderful as this picture are.

Re: Preview of my Adult Northiana Picture
 

thanks TS, this is my first time also. I'm just as excited.

Aliamys,

the pictures you posted are of Northiana in the wild, they will have different pitchers naturally(I can tell those are easily 1 feet).

Maybe when the plant matures, it could produce similar pitchers.
