Re: My Sunpitcher
 

Wow!! I wish I had one.

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

They are huge!!! That is 1 of my wish list...

I didnt buy it this round bcos scare unable provide them a cool place as required by this choosy guy... :mad:

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

Ban aik, sorry to hear that. I get this on first day with last pot at 6:30PM and second day I went there again, there is another with blooming flower at around 1PM. That should be the 7th pot.

Aaron and KC, I was planned to get this when I am trying to build my cooling task. Even my task not completed. I still get it to earn grow experience.

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

Hey Ban Aik. We were not the first to get them. It was a Penangnite. I was there on Saturday to get mine and out of all the plants, one was outstandingly beautiful and guess who already booked it... our Lim (picesilim)! He's even faster than all of us.

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

Well done on the Sun Pitcher. One of local members of the ACPS does grow these very well. He reckons that it like bright conditions, he keep winning the monthly award for best plant at the meeting. Also he recommond a feed of very diluted sealsol and liquid fertilzer, applied to the foliage, once month.
I would still keep it cool, I grow mine in the shadehouse. They are starting to pick up.

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

I will never grow them until I get the space......and cool temperature requirements.

Nice heliam, eric

Cheers

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

Khoas,

Can I use follia fert? Those that I use on my Tillandsias. Maybe that would help my BE clone to grow bigger pitchers. Pitchers do not seem to be getting bigger although it keep growing more new traps.

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

Think the Penangite is soonsuseong.

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

Oh, he was even earlier than Lim?! You guys in Penang are just too much... too much... :)

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

We use seasol ( a seaweed concerate) and a fish based fertilizer at 1/4 strenght used for orchids. Fertilize once a month, during the active growing season, directly into the pitchers. Same techinque can be used for Neps, Ceph and Sarra, not that I fertilze my Sarra. They are very good catching their own.
For Drosera and Mexican Pings mist on the leaves.

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

ok ok, confession time. i was there on friday afternoon with my friend who is now crazy about CPs, because we got nothing better to do. i didnt even know whether they were selling anything or not. i took a pot and he took one. this is our first time buying heliamphoras. so, we left the rest to others..... only 1 pot each, i swear. i am going to repot it and am seriously thinking of dividing it since it is quite big plant. wish me luck......

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

i told him that there wont be anymore the next day and true enough...

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

Haa, haa, it's a good thing, it's a good thing. More enthusiatic members to share this passion. :)

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

I wanna get heliam. What type is it? tatei? or minor or nutans??

Cheers

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

Anyone got heli to sell? I want one

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

Heli's need cooler nights?????? I remembered they do since they live on some vertical hill with a flat top which i have no idea what the name is.....Must be expensive lol.....Saw one at David's today beautiful hahaha........Am i right Edward?

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

The flat top mountains are called Tepuis and are basically rain derests.

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

Just ask who had bought this at Penang fest, quite a number of young leaf turn yellow and dried up. Is it a temperature shock after from Cameron to KL?

In other hand, I saw number of mature pitchers appeared. Hope this is a good sign.

I haven't re-pot them as I read the book, don't re-pot if they still with young leaf. Otherwise will take more longer time to produce mature pitcher.

Re: My Sunpitcher
 

Quite worry about it... the pitcher going brown even the young leaf...
