Re: N.Truncata??
 

this is actually N. x 'Miranda'. it'll do well both in sun or in bright shade.

Re: N.Truncata??
 

Hi

Thats defitnitly not a truncata.Its like hong rui said a N x miranda produces pretty large pitchers easily reaching a feet or so.Since u are from msia no prob growing this guy in full sun or shaded.You'll never miss a truncata when u see 1 it has heart shaped leaves with green pitchers which can be really big when it matures.1 question whats the differences between N mixta and N miranda,after googling it they still look the same to me o.0

Re: N.Truncata??
 

Agree, Not Truncata, Truncata has "heart shape" end of the leaves, if that helps. Nevertheless you have a nice plant there. I have Miranda, but it is still quite small. I keep it in very very good sun, I would say full sun, it is near my VFT.

Congratulations.

Re: N.Truncata??
 

nice Miranda you got

Re: N.Truncata??
 

wow,nice plant you got there. It looks very similar to my N.mixta.Keep it sufficiently humid and it will reward you with more pitchers.

Re: N.Truncata??
 

Nice n.xmiranda you got there.They are very robust plant and they look similar to n.maxima.All the best on your new nep.

Re: N.Truncata??
 

Hei Arvin,
Since you mentioned that you're growing your truncata in full sun,how do it pitcher for you?Mine have a lot of burnt spots on the leaves.

Re: N.Truncata??
 

:smile: Hi! Hongui, Ken, Arvin, Jefflu, powersensor, alienfx…

Thanks for correct and indentify my Nep. When I bought this Nep, that Indonesia guy told me that it is N.Truncata. That’s why I feel very suspicion. Luckily u all correct me…Thanks a lot! :smile:

My dad hang this nep in the bright place, like that quite ok to it.

Arvin, u said that u keep ur Miranda in full sun? The leaf will become burnt? :confused:

Ken and Arvin, thanks for tell me how to identify the truncate….Hope next time dun identify wrongly again..paiseh….Hehe!! :tongue:

Re: N.Truncata??
 

:laugh: You know what. Miranda is the MOST common nep which nurseries sell. Sometime Truncata is getting common too Due to TC.

As I was looking at it admiring Truncata and Miranda, The staff told me it is a VERY rare plant, not much people has it. I nearly laugh out loud.

Then he pointed to me, this one (Miranda) is very popular and a lot of people are looking for this species. And Worst is He said its name.

:2thumbup:

Guys do you know what he said?

He said this name "Venus Fly Trap"

OH MY GOD!!! I CANT STOP LAUGHING.

He still continue. You see People said this one came from Planet Venus and it eats flies.

LOL

Then I told him, no... This is named "Miranda" and that is "Truncata"

Then He was speechless.

Well, at least you met people who got the name wrong than getting the wrong info to sell. Hahaha

Re: N.Truncata??
 

:smile: Hi! Jeff…

Oic…I really no know Miranda before because I just start my CPs life this August..So what people say, I will trust…Aii..so this time make the foolish thing..Luckily u all correct me..If not, I still no know I already misunderstand…:tongue:

"Venus Fly Trap"…. came from Planet Venus?? Oh no…I really cant stop laughing :laugh::laugh:..If he said that is other Neps, I still ok…"Venus Fly Trap"?? UNBELIEVABLE :biggrin:…Hope they will know the name and sell..If not, sure get some people who less this knowledge like me will misunderstand…..

Yaloh! This is a good experience for me…next time hope dun do this mistake again..Hehe!! https://forum.petpitcher.net/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: N.Truncata??
 

I feel sorry for anyone who will fall for that "marketing trick" of calling something a different name because the fake name is popular. I am sure they figured out that most people who are interested in CPs are mostly interested in Venus fly trap. But to make a story that they come from planet Venus! Whahahahaa!

Guys when I say full sun, sometimes it might be different to you, but I do give them as full sun as I can in my small savage garden.

1. Truncata is giving pitcher at least 2 pitchers at a time, now 1 extra is growing. Truncata pitchers last a long time. I have 2 Truncatas, medium or what we can call teenager. I only have it for 3 months, so I am not expert.

2. Miranda, yes also full sun, I have no burned leaves, though the leaves of my Miranda turned reddish blotch, attaching photo that I took when I just got it and it started to grow nicely:

:smile: Hi! Arvin…
Thanks for show ur photo and info!
My N. ampullarias’ leaves also turned reddish blotch before ..That time I thought they would be die…But now it stil grow nicely…hehe!!:laugh:

Re: N.Truncata??
 

Nurseries in Malaysia don't know the plants real name. That time I bought a VFT from a nursery, the staff call it man-eating plant.

Re: N.Truncata??
 

Hi Harlem,
Many species of plant will turn reddish when exposed to direct sunlight. This is due to increase in photosynthetic pigments (carotenoids) to better absord and protect the leaf tissues from direct sunlight. If direct sunlight is not available to the plant anymore, the leaf will slowly convert back to green color which mainly comprise of chlorophylls a and b.

Re: N.Truncata??
 

:smile: Plantlover….thats why we need some knowledge..Hehe!! :biggrin:

:smile: Cpnut…Thanks for give me so detail explanation. When I start plant Neps, I always fuss…Sure will worry when it get any changes. Luckily I can know the truth and knowledge through this forum…. :tongue:
