Very nice northiana... may i ask how old it is and how big was it when you first got it.

Re: repotting northiana
 

it was grown from seeds since Feb., 2006. This was one of the 2 that were fast growing while others were about half the size.

Re: repotting northiana
 

Thanks.

Re: repotting northiana
 

Wow Robert ... your northianas are looking so awesome. You must be really proud to have grown them also from seeds. Congratulations!
In my eyes northiana is one of the most beautyfull nepenthes at all. The king of the lowland neps anyway.

Re: repotting northiana
 

Growing from seeds need patience. It was along wait.
Indeed it was one of the most colourful lowlander.

Re: repotting northiana
 

Nice northies :wub:, Robert. If rajah the king, northiana must be the queen... for me anyway *biggrin2*

I always feel the best way to grow northiana is to leave it be... how ever long it takes for it to pitcher... *biggrin2*

Re: repotting northiana
 

Yes ... right ... so this should be a royal hybrid if you cross the king and the queen. *biggrin2* Maybe not so picky like both and temperature tolerant and a stunning beauty.

Re: repotting northiana
 

Has that cross been done before..? I mean (rajah x northiana)... Would be interesting to see if it inherits the good bits of both parents.. Hopefully none of the bad (wishful thinking).. :)

Re: repotting northiana
 

this sentences means a lot....robert, let me know if you got some of those seeds, thank you*biggrin2*
