Re: Nep.Viking
I saw it on the Neofarmthailand site.
Mine have green wings in red pitcher.I believe it's a wild form which is not in the cultivation.I only have one pot and don't want to stress it too much. |
Re: Nep.Viking
Hi
Well i realised my viking has very or quite reddish leaves.....But the pitchers are a little whitish and reddish but i'm quite happy for now.....I think mine is a grade B viking considering it has a small neck..Well the newest pitcher is slightly smaller but i don't wanna bother too much since it came to my collection not to long ago and i guess its normal....And also i try hiding the pitchers in shade but for now not much redder....How long does it take??

Re: Nep.Viking

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...2/P1000608.jpg the plant and pitcher is exposed to direct sunlight for 3 - 5 hours http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...2/P1000607.jpg the bottom side sits on another neps pot with small plants http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...2/P1000609.jpg red bottom :P |

Re: Nep.Viking
I would like to add my 2 sen worth on this issue.
If you visit Neofarm website on "vikings in the wild", you will notice that vikings came from a very exposed environment. They are subjected to full sun the whole day. The leaves are red, waxy and leathery. Although they are subjected to full sun, the pitchers like ampullarias are also hidden under scrubs and grass. The pitchers that are shaded have the reddish tone. But like Cindy had said, the colour of vikings also varies. My personal experience suggest so. I have 3 pots of viking hanging next to each other. They are shaded, but receives morning sun. Two are ex-Neofarm (one a cutting from David) and one I bought in Bangkok. The Bangkok plant pitchers seem to be redder than those from David. Bicalcarata also exhibit such phenomena. The shaded side is darker than the non shaded side. Choong |
