Strath,

Do you know whether they veitchii used in this cross is either highland or lowland?

Re: Nepenthes veitchii x platychilla
 

Ali,
Just to inform, both BE and MT have this cross for sale, whether it's still available that I'm not sure. I got mine from Fauzi which originated from MT. I believe the MT cross was done by C. Lee.

Also, Eric also have a few L size of this cross from MT. Hope this help.

Strath's nep might be a BE's cross coz of the reddish coloration. That's the info I have gather from the internet. Perhaps you can confirm this with captive exotic, Strath?? BE use a H/L veitchii with striped peristome for this cross.

Re: Nepenthes veitchii x platychilla
 

Thanx for the info Cpnut,
Well Eric's veitchii x platychila has purple peristome if i'm not mistaken and it's from single clone right?

I'll confirm with MT first though.I'll keep you updated!

Re: Nepenthes veitchii x platychilla
 

You're welcome Nova, I believe all MT's veitchii x platychila should be clones but not sure how many clones they have from this cross, maybe you can ask Juliana @ MT?? Please keep us updated.

Hi Robert,

I just confirmed with Juliana.According to her the cross was made with highland veitchii as the mother plant.She also wrote that veitchii x platychila grows equally in H/L and L/L conditions.

I also asked her to show a pic of the veichii.So what are you waiting for guys, let's get one.

Hi Ali,
Thanks for the info... I already got one from MT... *biggrin2*

Re: Nepenthes veitchii x platychilla

Re: Nepenthes veitchii x platychilla
 

I've got the one from BE. IIRC they were seedgrown. So there'll be some nice variety around. They aren't anymore on their list.
It's growing nice and steady in my basement room with about 21°C daytime and 16°C nighttime. It was last year for half a year in the greenhouse where it got sometimes over 40°C day and 7°C night. It was growing all the time nice and steady. Here are some photos:
