Some N. albo from MT and...
« Thread Started on May 15, 2008, 7:13pm »
Ok david, here you go! These black plastic pots are 5" (12.5 cm)! I was "told" my plants would be from 6cm to 15 cm. tip to tip!
Here's a few shots of the N. albomarginata - 'kuching spotted' from MT a couple days after transplanting;


These are in really wide pots, 1st one is a 32.5 cm. pot;



The other plants are spread out all over the place!

Your plants look healthy even after the journey from Sarawak. Thanks for sharing.

Yep, full with coco cubes, but it's all from old coconuts after harvesting. It's supposed to be perfect little cubes but they never stop to sharpen the blades so ofter its very stringy. Sometimes I mix pumice stones, small gravel or other material to keep it from clumping up as it gets older but these will all be transplanted again in a few months time as part of a landscape project - like to think of it as planting an "albomarginata -grove"! The pots are all on a capillary matt which allows the coco to wick up as much moisture as the plants need without flooding the roots.
