burbidgeae x edwardsiana
 

a month ago some of this sabah hybrid were bought from MT and shared among some local growers. we have different growing conds. some were given cold night with air-cond+ high humidity, while mine was placed on windowsill with all day natural filtered sunlight. water was discreet with few drops of water to ensure media was moist ( never wet ). There was a pitcher on arrival and was doing fine till today. Also noted it had increase in size.

If you have this interesting hybrid please post your plant and growing conds.

I have this one too. It grows well but hasn't produced a decent new pitcher yet. I grow in a 'terrarium' (a 4 x 2ft aquarium turned on its side) with drosera adalae, begonias, amp and sanguinea. Sanguinea and amp are doing fine but this one just doesn't pitcher. Let me know if yours does.. :)

Shame to say, I'm still trying to get mine to pitcher after 5 months... :shy:

oook...I was thinking whether to get this hybrid or a northiana and looking at all these experience growers having some trouble with it..I guess i will stick to the harder lowlanders..

well ken i understand it may struggle with lowland conds, but i'm providing the best cool natural conds. so far the pitcher arrived with the plant still look fresh and healthy.

Robert i believe you have the hybrid backwards, its burbidgeae x edwardsiana.
i just got one a week ago or so...its taken off rather quick.
I grow mine as an ultrahighlander, its actually planted in a peat pot, slack potted into a larger plastic pot since the peat pot started to split.
the media is lfs/orchid bark/peat/perlite/sand/osmunda fiber with a top dressing of orchid bark to give it a nice look. Can't wait for it to produce its first pitcher in MY conditions. this plant sure is a winner ;)
