N. rowanae
« Thread Started on Nov 26, 2007, 11:43am »
I haven't seen much on this species so I will start a thread on it.
Here is a rare red clone of the species which is growing in very high light, intense sunlight, high heat, and excess moisture.
I believe this species likes wet feet and grows best when subject to conditions from which it is found in their natural state.
This species has very thick leathery pitchers actually more rubbery-like than many species I have grown.
I would very much like to see this species crossed with N. sp. Viking to make a super hot tolerant hybrid with similar characteristics.
Any comments regarding this species? Anyone growing it well?

But it is a beautiful plant. Pitchers as big as you hands. Cool man! Your plants are always so huge and healthy.
It does look similar to viking huh?

Will love to have one also, but still very rare in the market.

i think it's requirements are pretty much like mirabilis or 'viking' = lots of sun and water.
