Hi Ali

That hybrid is from EP right? I tot it does quite well in our conditions.....Sibu x vent...Anyways just share a bit...During the rainiest season of KL which is april (found out :) ) The cool weather has really helped my lady pauline...It has made its first pitcher after being pitcherless for so long..Well its kinda greenish since it was form in my vent's pot

Thanx Zulteh.

Kne,

This hybrid is very vigorous...maybe why it did pitcher for me is because it was acclimatizing to my new conditions.
My xLady pauline is coloring up very nicely though.

Re: 1st pitcher
 

Its sibu x vent? No wonder it reminds me of my sibuyanensis. Congrats on your first pitcher.

Re: 1st pitcher
 

Glad to see your pitcher,It's adapted on your condition.

Re: 1st pitcher
 

Thanx guys;)

@Aliamyz: Yes, mine also took about a year before making a decent size pitcher, was making a deformed one several time. Got mine last year March. Here is the decent size and shaped pitcher, just waiting for the peristome to get reddish:

Wijaya,

Do you find your xJungle bells bottom stem turning brown?Because mine does.
The growing tips are fine but the stems are turning orange in colour and eventually to brown.

Thanx!

Re: 1st pitcher
 

Is it becoming woody? My sibu acts like that too.

Re: 1st pitcher
 

@Ali: plantlover already answered that, it is becoming woody not turning brown the bad way *biggrin2*

Re: 1st pitcher
 

Ed and Aaron,

Thanx for your reply,i never grew a sibuyanensis personaly so i didn't know they become woody when young.

My plants is only about 35cm in height.Just a rough estimate.

But i'm fine if the plant is not dying.;)

Re: 1st pitcher
 

wow!How lovely.A year of taking care of it definitely has paid off.BTW do u encounter any problem of growing it in burnt earth?

Re: 1st pitcher
 

I grow some of my plants (raffs, gracilis, mirabilis, x coccinea) in burnt earth and I find that they do quite well. I water them twice daily, once in the morning and in the evening. Other Neps like Miranda, Belli and Sumatrana I plant in mix of sand and peat plus perlite and a small amount of moss (for top dressing).

Re: 1st pitcher
 

Yes actually,they do dry out fast and doesn't give humidity like sphagnum moss.:spinning:
