Dear Hongrui,

Thanks for your wonderful pictures. I like your globosa and campanulata.

Hope my globosa from Thi(bugbeware) will grow just as nice. Does globosa grow fast for you?

Thanks.

Rgds,
Isaac

N. globosa is a easy grower and pitchers readily for me. just give it lots of light and water. but with the very wet weather recently and a lack of sunlight, most of my globosa got attacked by scales.

now i'm using a systemic insectide, and hopefully i can kill off the scales before they spread to other neps.

Dear Hongrui,

Thanks for sharing your pictures. All your neps are so nice, there's not one that I do not like. Probably it's your skill of growing them to such healthy state.

Do you have any trade list? http://s4.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif

Isaac

hongrui,

do you grow your globosa under direct sun or shaded? What is the secret of getting the pitchers to be so red? Some growers say this species is different. If the pitchers are shaded it'll turn red. But others say if under direct sun it'll turn red. Which is the fact and which is fiction? I also notice one picther is whitish.

Also what soil you use for your globosa?

I'm also interested to know how you grow your globosa. I read that globosa will have different looking pitchers in one plant. It's kind of like the gene of globosa is not yet stable IMO.

Isaac

thanks for the kind words Issac. i believe it's more of the my growing conditions that suits the plants rather than me, the water boy. i do not have any trade list, but i'll post if i have extra cuttings/plants for trade/sale/giveaways.

David/Issac,
i grow N. globosa (actually about 2/3 of my neps) under very bright light. full sun for 1pm till 3pm, bright light for the rest of the day. some of the globosa plants simply produces more red pitchers, others doesn't. but if the pitchers are allowed to develop in deep shade, then it is likely that the pitchers will be more red, compared to pitchers that are developed in light. what i do is i usually tuck the developing pitchers below the pots and let them develop there.

one problem i'm facing is that when the globosa pitchers are new, they are nice and red, but after a month or so after fully opening the pitchers will get attacked by scale and/or mealy bugs. the problem worsen recently after the wet weather and a lack of sun. as i mentioned earlier, most of my globosa plants are attacked by scales/mealy bugs and i'm now using a systemic pesticide to fight them.

my potting mix for my all my neps are pretty similiar 1:1:1 of sphagnum peat:perlite:pine bark. the cost of the pine bark is killing me and i'm looking for cheaper alternatives.

hongrui,
I would check to see what orchid growers in your area is using over bark. I really like the scrubby mulch products (Cedar, Cypress, other woods) bark-mulch. This is usually the outer covering of threes where wood and skin meet. This product is grated/shredded and used mainly as a mulch. It lasts longer than bark and have better water retaining qualities. I also mix in perlite, some peatmoss or an inexpensive compost filler. Use broken charcoal (made from wood, not reconstituted kinds with the flame starters) pieces to mix with the soil for added long term drainage and water quality.

I would suspect that you might be able to find a good quality subsititute for the expensive bark.

thanks michael, i've been around to some bigger nurseries (including orchid nurseries) but i've not been able to find any bark mulch in SG. what they're mostly selling is either fern bark slabs or pine bark.

Do they sell fern root/bark shredded cheaply/inexpensively? At one time in Hawai'i. they used to sell them cheaply. It is still my favorite media of choice and would use it if I could find a cheap source for it. The roots of neps just love it.

hongrui, is that an upper pitcher of xcoccenia you have posted? Looks like mine when it is grown under full sunlight but alittle more elongated than mine.

Also if ever you have cuttings of your hybrids to spare, I am interested. http://s4.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif

Robert: the xcoccenia, i believe originally came from EP, but i got the plant as a cutting from a local grower in sg.

David: the pitcher i believe is more intermediate than a true upper pitcher because of the wings present.

hehe there's still some space to walk (space to be filled up with neps!). maybe i'll take a shot of my growing area this weekend.

tarence: the raffs in pic 4 and 5 are from different plants. the raff in pic 5 has pink wings and a whiter body than the raff in pic 4 which has a more pinkish body.

david: the truncata (1) is from MT, while 2, 3 and 4 are from EP.

i grow my neps in 2 (now 3) spots around the garden and this is the sunnier growing area, which gets full sun till about 2pm. 2/3 of my neps are grown here.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j3...P/R0011910.jpg

a look from the other end. my ceph from cindy is somewhere in there.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j3...P/R0011911.jpg

this particular area that i'm starting to invade has full sun the whole day. right now, there's some amp x mirabilis, amp x raff and xmiranda there as test plants.
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j3...P/R0011912.jpg

i have another spot, which i did not take any pics because it is waay too messy, is where i grow the more shade loving ones like amps, hirsuta and friends. that particular area only gets morning sun till about 11, and after that it's in bright shade till sundown.

i've recently received a 'permit' from my dad to fix up a sprinkler watering system. hopefully i'll be able to get it done up during my school break in december and with luck, the neps will appreciate the higher humidity levels and extra water and grow better for me.

thx hongrui...you DO have a lot of space altho as you mention before, space might become a problem once the Neps mature & start vining. For now, you are safe. I`m looking at your bare walls in pic 1 & 2 and going mmmmmm......coz neps can hang happily from there.

hongrui...based on your pics, if you ask me....there is absolutely LOTS of space for ALL your plants to vine! Especially with that wall height, i agree with robert that you can construct tiered benches, maybe shove those shade-loving plants below and woalla! you can even construct wall lattices...just my imagination running wild but hey lol http://s4.images.proboards.com/grin.gif but if I had that much of wallspace you have I'd be constructing lattices too soon for comfort!
and i foresee a Nep jungle coming with the headache http://s4.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif

double my collection, robert? a very tempting thought, but i need to get a permit to construct a bench, especially if it's going to be permanent. i was thinking of getting some stainless steel shelves from some DIY shop and maybe DIY it. and that will have to wait after i get the sprinkler system done up as i'm planning to DIY that too.

hongrui, you can also have 3 roll of neps instead of one now (all next to the wall). You can still walkk inbetween the 3 rolls.

On top of that, in the second picture on the right... that is where the roof of your house ends is it? If so, you can install hooks and hang your neps from the roof too. You can hang them all just next to each other. If you hang the plants one higher, another lower and another higher next to each other, you can double the amount of plants hung from your roof.

I would say you can tripple your collection in this area.

If you do this, the whole area will be more humid and better for your neps too. Hmm, I'm getting all excited but this is not my house... haa, haaa... Just got to make do with my home "in the air".

i used to have 2 rows of pots with walking space inbetween, but when their population multiplied, i had to bring them all together and the result is what you see.

hanging pots from the roof is out cause that's where the laundry is! i'm also not exactly in favor of hanging pots as it'd be harder to water, unless i hang them at maybe my eye level, but then it'd be quite erm.. challenging to walk about?

my current idea is to have 2 benches, one against the wall, and another parallel to and against the pails you see in pic 1 and 2. i should then have a small walking space in between and that should be an incentive for me not to get any fatter!

Ahh finally eye candy again. i hate those kind of ants. they came streaming out of my xero when I first got it. now they are seemingly around my garden somewhere as I see one or two astray.
Your kuchingensis and hookerianas seems to be doing well for you. Mine practically struggles to produce pitchers. Don't ask me why, I have no idea especially when rafflesianas are in fullpitchering mode and they are sitting side by side, ironically.

i had a little problem with the xhookeriana 'Green' when it first came though. but i ignored it and left it alone. after 2months of sulking, it finally pitchered and has been doing so ever since.

ants.. they're all over the place! when i'm really really bored, i catch them and feed them to my drosera!

Hi hongrui,

Is that the typical media from BE? Those large pieces are wood chips? What else do you have in the media?

hi david,

nope, this is not the typical media from BE, BE plants come without media.

those large pieces you see are pine bark chips, a top layer to prevent rain spatter. in the media is peat, perlite and pinebark chips.

http://s3.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif Wow! I'm really, really impressed! Being new to this forum I hadn't seen this thread before. When we were in Singapore for some reason I thought you were probably a newbie but I can see from your photos throughout this thread that you're an accomplished grower. I wish I had seen this before we met. I could learn a lot from you about how the best growers in SG cultivate their plants.

I have a few questions if you have the time. First off: You are growing highlanders really surprisingly well considering the climate. How long have you had the N. veitchii x lowii N. talangensis x veitchii and N. tobaica for? Did those pitchers form since you received the plants or if they were already there?

yeah Rob, Hongrui's collection and skills belies his age. Shows you can be good at something when you put your heart to it.

Hongrui,

Your northy is very nice. Do you have a picture of the whole plant? I'm still waiting for my "giant red" northy to pitcher. The plant is almost 2 feet tall with big leaves. Not pitchering. Was told it's a female too.

Meanwhile I'll just have to be contented with the pitchers(1cm) of the 2 northiana ****es that I have.

Rgds,
Isaac

thanks Rob, you're too kind. i received the veitchii x lowii and the tobaica 'red' in Jan this yr, while talangensis x veitchii was received in Sept this yr. the pitchers shown are all formed here in singapore.

isaac, thanks! i'll take a picture of the plant for you later.

robert, you think so? i'll cross my fingers and wait patiently for the northiana to grow bigger.

Hongrui,
Its interesting how your photo of pure veitchii resembles like a dead-ringer the currently sold hurrelliana x veitchii from MT.


You will also discover (If you haven't seen evidence already) that your SEED origin plants far exceeds those from tc. This is part of my rants why nepenthes growers need to see that SEED-origin plants (are not even remotely similar) are far superior over tc plants.

There is no such thing as a superior selected form from tc or "selected" clones from any tc supplier. They are selling plants at random as "IF" they were seed origin plants!
The exception to this are hybrid tc clones of plants with specific traits. Such as Red Dragon, these are set examples of a clone that is represented for that HYBRID.

hongrui, what's the media that you use for the N. campanulata & N. northiana?

I thought I saw coarse red soil - I've used this mixed with some sphagnum + perlite for my n. mirabilis and they are really thriving! I'm wondering if I can use the same for n. northiana.

Athene, both the camp and north are in 80% burnt earth and 20% peat/perlite. the peat/perlite mix is packed mainly around the root mass to prevent dehydration after transplanting. the white bits in the N. campanulata pot are actually limestone chips, but camps and norths do not seem to need it in their media. i have other pots of camps and norths without the limestone chips and they grow okay too.

hongrui,
its an achievement to grow neps in pure soil.
Some say that the soil must be washed thoroughly to drain away the nutrients before applying it to neps.
Is it myth or fact? what about ur case?

its not regular topsoil/compost. the burnt earth i'm referring to is actually soil that has been commercially oven fried/combusted and it looks like this:

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j3...i/R0011978.jpg

its like chunks of hard solid clay. it is quite sterile as all the organic materials has been burnt off during the process of making it. i do kinda rinse/wash the chunks before using to get rid of any loose clay powder that may cause clogs.

Hongrui,
that was the first thing i thought about burnt soil - depleted nutrients. However, from this, and this website, the experiments indicate that the nutrients had not only been preserved, but the soil had also been enriched with minerals and nutrients http://s4.images.proboards.com/rolleyes.gif (my grandma, a rubber tapper, who lives a kampung life and grow vegetables also said that burnt soil is good for growing plants due to its nutrients. ofcourse she doesnt have any science evidents to prove it http://s4.images.proboards.com/grin.gif)

hmm.. oops! http://s4.images.proboards.com/lipsrsealed.gif

i can understand why a forest fire would increase the amount of nutrients in soil though, a forest fire should increase the amount of organic material available for decomposition which means more nutrients. but a forest fire does not burn the soil and dry it up to the state of hard chunks.

i think your grandmother is correct though, burnt soil is very fertile. but i still believe/think that the burnt earth/clay are sterile. in singapore, burnt soil is black and crumbly and is sold as being full of nutrients while the chunks of burnt earth (dried clay pellets, i've been corrected) are promoted as sterile but useful drainage materials. how true the claims are, i'm not sure. http://s4.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif

I suppose broken red bricks could work, if you hammer them into small enough chunks. but is anything added to clay to make bricks?

All I heard was the EP remade it, but that was a rumor. On the photo finder it says this: "Trent Meeks says there is only a single clone remaining (female). Also, see the cultivar N. 'F. W. Moore'"
However, I've never seen a female dyeriana. Everyone's seems to be male, so if the male clone is a "fake" I don't know where it came from or what happened to the real one since no one seems to have it. Mine came from Longwood Gardens, is male, and looks like yours. Where they got it from, who knows.

thanks for the info, phissionkorps.

i've found the old thread, here, on Dyeriana at pitcherplant forum. it seems like EP has done a remake of dyeriana. sunbelle has also remarked that "all N. Dyeriana are male, it's the only clone".

considering that my plant came from thailand, i'm inclined to think that mine is a EP remake and not the victorian cross.

Yeah, just recently on pitcherplants they stated that it was just a rumor that they had remade it. Can't find the thread, but it's there somewhere if you search for it. It was within the last month.

Re: N. dyeriana,

Sunbelle is absolutely correct in that post. I became familiar with this plant back in the mid '70s at Longwood Gardens when they had it labeled as "N. dicksoniana". I sent photos of it to Japanese authorities, who informed me that is was in fact NOT N. dicksoniana, but "N. dyeriana".

I did some research on this, and found it described in the [Kew] Gardner's Chronicles as "N. x Sir William T. Thistleton Dyer" (too short, huh? http://s3.images.proboards.com/grin.gif) and became better known in the circles as just D. dyeriana; but that name does NOT (to my knowledge), appear in any formal documented botanical description; it's just a name that has become synonymous by de-facto over the years, and yes, it is a male plant, and only one clone of it exists. Even if someone else were to remake this hybrid, it would be of completely different plants, and would most likely look different too.

Longwood grows them in hanging baskets, and gets them to produce pitchers up to 16 inches! They have to tie the pitchers to the tendrils (just under the peristome) so that they don't topple over when they water them and the pitchers fill up with water, sometimes fertilizer.

It is N. x mixta (N. northiana x N. maxima) X N. x dicksoniana (N. rafflesiana x N. veitchii - and most likely a lowland form at that). It doesn't produce hybrids very well, as I've tried several times, but each time rendered no germination.
