Re: Highland veitchii's varieties

Wow. Nice. I've always liked this varieties but it seems that the ones common in cultivation does not represent the beauty of this species. Where are they from? Bareo?

Seems like they grown on grown and not trees. What are the substrate they are growing in?

The last picture? Are those Batu Lawi varieties?

Sorry, bombard you with so many questions... ;-)

welcome for more questions:smile:

Re: Highland veitchii's varieties

Robert,

In the last picture, are all the pitcher shape the same on the whole plant or is that an upper pitcher? I love the shape and ladders. The ladders looks like sp. viking upper ladders. Lovely! Actually do veitchii have upper pitchers? can't recall.

I really like the pitcher on the third picture. The teal/green peristome with bright red strips is really spectacular. Pitcher is also so round and stout.

Re: Highland veitchii's varieties

Re: Highland veitchii's varieties

Thanks all for the interests and comments. veitchii was one of my favourite too.

David, it was an intermediate pitcher. The whole plant display the same shape, photo attached.

I have not come across veitchii's upper pitcher but what about this intermediate.

minh, the humidity at night 99%, temp 14°C. Attached show temp/humidity taken about 7.00am where temp have already risen to 19°C

where they grow the ground is very well drain, air is always cool and moist.

Re: Highland veitchii's varieties

Wow... 99% humidity is like in my terrarium. Gonna be hard to replicate this outdoors. Surprise to know that they are terrestrial. I've always under the impression that this is a epiphyte.

BTW. MT have this as a variety(Bareo). However, heard that it is not the best representation of this species. Anyone have the one from MT for comparison?...

Fortunately, according the wikipedia, this species is still not under threat (hopefully nowhere in future).

Robert, more newbie questions. I am city boy. ;-) Is this place hard to get to. I mean Batu Lawi and Bareo area. Far from Kuching? These pitchers would be a very nice photography subject, if ever I get to go to East Malaysia.

Bario was a remote village. Getting to Batu Lawi was a 1.5 to 2 days journey on foot. There is no road but jungle trails. Guide and porters are necessary to carry food and drinking water.

Re: Highland veitchii's varieties

Hi CJ,
As far as I know, MT's Bareo is not the striped peristome (a while back MT posted pic of the striped peristome bareo to represent what they're selling).

Most veitchii bario can be consider as intermediate so can be successfully (to a centain extent) grown in L/L tropical weather. If compared to other H/L plants like rajah, it's easier... *biggrin2* Of coz if you can provide a true intermediate or H/L growing condition for these beauties, you'll be able to admire it's full glory. :wub:

Re: Highland veitchii's varieties

Thanks for the info guys. MT Bareo is quite nice as well. I guess maybe that will be my next target.

Recently saw Veitchii seeds in BestCarnivourPlants. Checked with them and confirmed that it is Bareo. However, don't know how is the quality of these seeds. It is in euro though, so quite expensive. What do you guys think?

I know, even if it is viable, it will be a neck stretching exercise, guarantee to increase the neck length with the loooong wait.

BTW. Any member have the Bareo type in cultivation? or better yet Batu Lawi (which I think is even harder to find). That way, we don't have to trek 2 days and spend $$$ to enjoy its beauty.

Re: Highland veitchii's varieties

Got a question: How exactly does veitchii 'Hose Mountain' differ from regular veitchii? Are the pitchers and leaves supposed to be pinkish in colour? All my veitchii are only seedlings..

BE has one as N. veitchii "Golden Peristome" which they categorized it as H/L variety. EP also have greenhouse bread H/L form that they labled as veitchii "h" and "k". The "k" form is supposely the striped peristome form.

I have the BE and EP's "k" form and it's growing steadily but still very young... :closedeyes:

Hi Nepnut

Do you have pictures of EP clones to share? Thinking of getting one in the next mass order. Hope it is not too much trouble. :crying:

Re: Highland veitchii's varieties

Hi CJ,
There's nothing to see as it's still small and no pitcher yet... It only started to produce 1st leaf under my care... According to EP, their veitchiis were seed grown, not TC clones.
