Got this from Sungi buloh. Never really knew what it was. My guess is N. fusca or some fusca hybrid.

Opps! After I merge 2 of my posts, Kent's comments went above....

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

Thanks Ken,

These plants are grown in the garden just beside the car porch exposed to rain and direct sunlight with just a little dapple shade from other plants in the garden.

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

Hi David

OoOoO i didn't pay much attention on the background surrounding.Now that i've looked at it definitly at on a garden.You tied some strings around the garden???Or was it already there so good that you can grow so many plants without people stealing them.My house condo also has a garden beside the visiters parking i wanted to put some neps there or at least thinking bout putting some there once i get many neps for now my rack has enough space.I scared uncivilised people steal hahaha.

I didn't know you were still uploading pictures so thats why i comment.Since now you're done uploading(i think) i like the N miranda upper the most because of the contrast between the pitcher and the peristrome.

Ken,

My neps are grown in my parents place (Landed property). They do not do so well in my apartment because the sun shift after a couple of months. I dare not grow them at the car park. They will be stolen or abused... curious fingers poking at the traps etc. Not gonna risk that with my little "pets" or shall I say other babies.

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

Hi David

I see i forgot i actually saw somewhere in the forum where you stated where you had some neps at your parents house.I think it was where you said your dad gave away your N sumatrana to somebody else...must be a heartache....if im not wrong about it.

I'm always worried to grow those neps at the garden just right under my house.But maybe one day i'll try out maybe in a few years where my collection has already grown to monster size and when i can afford to loose some common neps maybe like a N ventrata or something.

Ken

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

Ken,
People won't steal common colourless ventrata but the colourful ones which you will be having in a few years to come.

David,
Nice plants.That's a fusca x maxima hybrid ;)
Love your rafflesiana x veitchii.Hope mine get as big as yours too.

Thanx for sharing!

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

Hey Bro...

Weeeeee i love your N. longifolia so cute and i have been hunting it for year one plus already but sadly never had any luck... T_T

Wow... it's good to see all your neps are loving their new home and you must be very happy to visit your "babies" since you have not seen them for so long... Beautiful plant and great picture... thanks for sharing bro...

Regards
Jonathan

Hi Ali,

Thanks for the compliments and for confirming the species of that fusca x maxima for me. :smile:

Mine was from MT quite some years back. It's quite a big plant now but the pitchers do not seem to get any bigger.

Ok, here's some pictures of the whole longifolia plant for Jon and wijaya...

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

wauh... they are nice...

I really need to change my mind regarding nepenthes... They grow so well in yours garden... Yours place is hot?

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

Hi Caseyhoo,

My neps are in a garden in Taiping. Taiping is quite humid as compared to KL because of the numerous lakes and hills around. It is also quite cooling at night. Seem to be perfect for most of my neps although some don't do so well. Don't know why. Still figuring it out. Perhaps it rain quite often and the media is kept soggy for too long... (scratching head...)

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

The reddish-green of the longifolia leaves are fantastic.
The developping pitcher in the long tendril makes it even more attractive.
Your plants is growing straight up David.Though not many plants will grow like that.
Love the compact leaves too.;)

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

Hmm i was wondering bout N longfolia's name it means sort of like long leaves..something like that rite.I've never seen any of the leaves before until now and they do not look quite long at all unless you are comparing with the size of the pitcher than well its kinda long.

Ken

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

Ken,
You're right!It got it's name Longifolia due to it's long leaves and pitchers.
The plant can grow up to 1100 metres length.

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

Hi Ali

What do you mean by growing up to 1100M in length you mean the whole VINE!!!...How can that be do you mean 110 or 1100M isn't 1100M to much for a nep???

Ken

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

I thought that at first too Ken.(Link)

Maybe he means the elevation!

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

Hi Ali

Yeah after reading the link everything is all cleared up.Definitly he means its elevations

Ken

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

Thanks David for the extra photos, the longi is extremely beautiful, not only the pitcher but the leafs as well.

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

Nice pics David.
I think the colour of the viking will remain like that.Maybe it's a different form.
Thanx for sharing though;)

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

Nice neps. the stout gracilis is so cute.
Thanks for sharing.

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

The raff x vetchii is insanenly awesome, Love the bical... always. I used to have one, but my bical is gone together with some other plants. All victims of the great dog attack of 2008. I enjoyed that pic of the gracilis x amp and the black gracilis as well. Nice...

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

Hi Panenep,

Why would the dog attack your neps for no reasons..lol...Anyway maybe the dog got scratched by its fangs haha

Ken

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

I don't know Ken, I do not know. They were young, biting everything. Has never happened again...

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants

Re: Just shaing pictures of my plants
 

Thanks for sharing... your got some interesting gracilis collection and also other nice looking neps.

Pananep,
Yes, puppies will go through the teething stage, I lost a few pots with nep, luckily the puppy only like to chew on the plastic pots not the neps....
