Re: Veitchii beauties

Re: Veitchii beauties
Very beautiful! There certainly is a diverse number of different veitchii. I've have no idea why in-situ's vetchii rarely climb but if there are few trees there, they may have evolved to scramble for more support and possibly less exposure to sunlight. Just a guess....
EDIT: What I meant about them scrambling to avoid exposure to sunlight is that the veichii makes use of the bush and other plants surrounding it (grasses, ferns, etc.) to shade it from direct sunlight. If there are few trees around, there's almost no shade so I'm guessing that the veitchii scramble among bushes and grasses to shade themselves rather than vine erectly upwards into the sun. |
Re: Veitchii beauties
omg very beautiful *drool*

Re: Veitchii beauties
Gorgeous collage of veitchiis.. :) Has anyone tried growing them the natural way (mounted on wood)?
|
Re: Veitchii beauties
I try putting them on log with spahg moss about 2 month ago and still doing fine although the pitcher produce seems to be smaller. Maybe still acclimatizing. Hopefully they will continue to grow

Re: Veitchii beauties
Edmund,
i've seen growers using pure coconut chips cut into small size cubes around 1"-1.5", mosses collected from forest or sphagnum moss 20%/ and 80%perlite. |
Re: Veitchii beauties
Currently all my nep medium mixed with coconut chip + sphagnum moss.
Some members mentiond coconut chip produce acid and oil which harm to the plant. Not sure is it true or not.... did you face problem when using coconut chip after few years? |

Re: Veitchii beauties
The way of veitchii climbing tree is crazy!!!! Seems like "hugging" the tree using leaf, tentril and pitcher!!!!
|
Re: Veitchii beauties
wah @@ ... they all look cute...
BL, one of the plant show pink red on body but green peristome .. Is it happen to the whole plant? |
Re: Veitchii beauties
All this wild veitchii pitchers are so big man.....Never really seen pitchers of veitchii grow that big....Awesome!
|
Re: Veitchii beauties
They are awesome. There are 15 of you, with Mike Lo and George?
Did you take a closer look if the main stem produced roots while clasping and growing upwards? |

Didnt notice there are root growing out from the stem, the surface of the tree is very dry. It hug on to the tree using the leaf and can grow as high as 20-30ft which reach the top of the tree. |
Re: Veitchii beauties
Very beautiful! Thanks for sharing this pictures, where did you see them?
|
Re: Veitchii beauties
let me guess.. the place should be sarawak or sabah since the origin cultivate is from there
|
Re: Veitchii beauties

Re: Veitchii beauties
Whoops, typo. I was meaning in-situ, not 'sibu'. :blush: Have corrected it.
Post more pics of veitchii, Robert! There is something I suddenly thought, is it possible that the flared peristome of climbing veitchii acts as some sort of clasp/grip for the whole pitcher? In most pics, I can see the peristome 'wrapping' around the tree trunk leaving the peristome still looking flared. |
Re: Veitchii beauties

yes the peristomes were still flared, and pitchers lie against the host (tree). |
