http://s3.images.proboards.com/xx.gifnep x coccinea upper & lower
« Thread Started on Jun 26, 2007, 9:15pm »http://s3.images.proboards.com/buttons/modify.gif http://s3.images.proboards.com/buttons/delete.gif Just to share my lower & upper pitchers......anyone has similiar photos of their varieties to show ? I`m keen to see home grown neps pics and not pics from websites. I think I saw somewhere that n.hookeriana has got quite interesting upper pitchers...
btw, no prizes for guessing which is the lower & upper pitcher.

About 20 of my pitchers dried up so that`s why I didn`t take a pic of the whole plant, it looks sad ! Heheh, i only now have about 5 surviving lower pitchers. There used to be 30-over gorgeous red lower pitchers & about 6 upper ones....nanti lah when the plant recovers to its former glory.

« Reply #3 on Jul 6, 2007, 6:03am »http://s3.images.proboards.com/buttons/modify.gif http://s3.images.proboards.com/buttons/delete.gif Hi,
I am a newbie from KL. Have been growing orchids but recently got attracted by pitcher (after the pot I bought from Cameron Highland grows about 10-20 pitchers)
I have a basic question...what is upper and what is lower pitcher??
Thanks in advance!

« Reply #4 on Jul 6, 2007, 9:13am »http://s3.images.proboards.com/buttons/modify.gif http://s3.images.proboards.com/buttons/delete.gif Lower pitches are produced when the plant is still in it's rossette stage. Pitchers are fatter and move globose. The pitchers will rest on the ground most of the time. So it can afford to have fatter and heavier pitchers
Upper pitchers are produced when the plant starts to vine, maybe about 2-3 feet onwards. The pitchers are cone shape. The plant does this so that the pitchers are not as heavey as the lower pitchers. This is to avoid the weight of the pitchers above the vine to break the main stem. Upper pitchers are lighter.

Thanks for the info. That means if I hang my pitcher, it will never be able to produce lower?

« Reply #6 on Jul 6, 2007, 11:46am »http://s3.images.proboards.com/buttons/modify.gif http://s3.images.proboards.com/buttons/delete.gif It will still produce pitchers if you hang it...David is talking about neps in the wild I think. Our neps in cultivation will adapt to the conditions. Most pitchers produced are lower anyway. It`s more seldom to see upper ones.

« Reply #7 on Jul 6, 2007, 10:55pm »http://s3.images.proboards.com/buttons/modify.gif http://s3.images.proboards.com/buttons/delete.gif All,
Thanks for info. My friend hooked me up with Fauzi today and met him this evening.
He explained to us what upper and lower are.
I would definitely go back to see him for his wonderful plants again.
