LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

My 1st Nepenthes was Nepenthes ampullaria on May 2009 but I stop it after the 1st Nepenthes because of to some reason.

After I jointed this forum, I started again for Nepenthes because of N. viking:laugh:

I learn a lot after visit to NepNut house and I will modify my garden for Nepenthes :shy:

I hope can learn more for Nepenthes.

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

wauh!!! a lots of viking!!!!

For N. mirabilis var globosa, you need to hide those pitcher from sunlight in order to get reddish color. It is difference from others nepenthes...

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

Hi LJ,
Nice N. mirabilis var globosa from Boon. Most N. mirabilis and it's variant's pitcher will get bleach if exposed to strong sunlight. If you want to maintain the reddish pitcher, hide the pitchers, away from sunlight.

However, pls don't misunderstand that the plants will also need to be shaded, actually most N. mirabilis and it's variants grow best in full direct sun when it's mature. Please remember to do this step by step, if not you might hurt the plants when you suddenly move them to full direct sunlight.

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

They do? OMG I wanna put my N.Vik.... N.mirabilis var globosa in the shade xD

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

wow! :2thumbup: so many N. mirabilis var globosa (tongue twister) from Boon.......believe me, they can go 'redder'! i can't take any pics now.....my camera sulking on me after left it in an acond room.....bad moisture from condensation, sigh.....

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

eeemmm... any one know what others nepenthes plant that require their pitcher hide from sunlight in order to get their potential color? Beside N. mirabilis var globosa.

As I know from Robert, some of ampullaria and some mirabilis need so... Now, come to question, which amp and mirabilis need so?how we know that? :crying:

Tan, sorry for out of topic...

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

thank you guys for supporting the knowledge and use the whole name, but you don't need to do that at all costs, risking to fall asleep while you write it :)! You can just call it var. globosa, or even globosa, like you do with N. mirabilis var. echinostoma. Just keep in mind that it's a variety and that now it has an official name :)

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

N. argentii and N. sibuyanensis are putting their pitchers in the soil. They are living in a quite stormy habitate. The theory is that they do so to fix the plant better to the bottom. That hasn't to do with the colour but who knows.

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

Dear Caseyhoo,

I'm not fully understand and get the meaning for "hide those pitcher from sunlight in order to get reddish color." :shy:

Currently I'm putting them at my balcony East side and it about 4 - 5 hours morning full sunlight. Do it mean that if I hide the pitcher, the color will "Reddish"? If I did not hide the pitcher, the color will "Red"？

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

Dear NepNut,

Do it mean that the pitcher will change to 'red' if getting full sunlight?

Due to some reason, I ask my friend to pick up N. mirabilis var globosa from Boon on Apr and I get it on May. I'm direct putting them 4 - 5 hours morning sunlight and after about 4 days, the color of the leaf was started changed including the pitcher. Look like I'm do some mistake on it.:crying:

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

Now, I do not sure to put them at shade place or just maint it ?:crying:

You may send it to repair, hope you can share it ASAP..

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

Dear Caseyhoo,

No problem. If you have more question to ask, pls ask it. I also can learn on it:shy:

I'm having the problem like why same plant put on same place but 1 side pitchers was "hide" the color will different with other.

I'm confuse for Nepenthes :confused:

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

Dear Marc,

Better we use official name :smile:

I started learning Nepenthes and still have a lot of "???" and confuse item may needs your help on it.:shy:

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

Dear Boris,

How about N.ampullaria?

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

LJ,
When the whole plant of N. mirabilis var. globosa recieved strong light, the leaves and stems will turned to reddish coloration, that's because of formation of carotenoid (reddish pigments) by the plant to protect against strong light.

When the plant recieved strong sunlight, the developing pitchers will turned to red color. However, if after the pitcher open and stay exposed to sunlight, the pitcher will lose it's redness after it's aged (usually after 2-3 weeks), meaning the pitcher will become greenish and pale in color. This is what we refer as "bleaching" effect.

To show you what I mean....

N. mirabilis var globosa - 1 : Pitcher developed in a layer of LSM. The top part of the pitcher exposed to sunlight.
http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/3665/viking1.jpg

N. mirabilis var globosa - 2 (same pitcher): This is how the whole pitcher looks like. You'll see a clear distinction of coloration where the part of the pitcher that wasn't exposed to sunlight. The whitish part won't regain the redness once it's bleached even you hide it away from sunlight by now.
http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/6369/viking2.jpg

N. mirabilis var globosa - 3 : This is how the pitcher will look like when it's developed and kept away from sunlight.
http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/9060/viking3.jpg


Please know that in nature, most N. mirabilis and it's variant grow under full direct sunlight. Hope this help. :smile:

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

Dear NepNut,

Thank for your explain.

I will do some experiment on it:shy:.

'LSM' is ?


Thank you

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

That's really interesting Nepnut!! I'm going to start hiding my pitchers away in shade from now on :P

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

The prey of ampullaria is often leaf litter. Maybe it puts the pitchers in the soil to catch/collect as most as possible of it.

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

Is N. mirabilis var. globosa also mean N. Viking ? I confuse also:confused:

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

Yes ... N. mirabilis var. globosa is now their official name after being described by the scientists. N. viking was sort of nickname before official description.

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

ok.. got it.. TQ*biggrin2*

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

FYI, I also found out N. northiana pitchers behave the same way as globosa. If the developing pitchers are sheltered from light, the pitcher will become a nice reddish coloration as well.

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

oohhh....time for some fun experiment!!! *biggrin2*

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

Let us have the fun on it*biggrin2*

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

Dear cbkhoon,

Pls refer to below link for more detail :

I also confuse on it but after read it, you will understand.

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

Noted

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

what i have done for the vikings are, i put all the pots close to each other in a tray, and i let the pitchers sit in the gaps so that very minimum light will shine at the pitchers.

I have tried another method b4 and it works also, expose the whole plant to make the leaves red, by having the pitcher sitting in the pots, covered by its leaves, then i wil move them to shaded place. Then you wil get red leave + red pitcher.

Re: LJ_Tan - Nepenthes
 

Nice neps!
