Hi hongrui,
Is that the typical media from BE? Those large pieces are wood chips? What else do you have in the media?

hi david,
nope, this is not the typical media from BE, BE plants come without media.
those large pieces you see are pine bark chips, a top layer to prevent rain spatter. in the media is peat, perlite and pinebark chips.

 Wow! I'm really, really impressed! Being new to this forum I hadn't seen this thread before. When we were in Singapore for some reason I thought you were probably a newbie but I can see from your photos throughout this thread that you're an accomplished grower. I wish I had seen this before we met. I could learn a lot from you about how the best growers in SG cultivate their plants.
I have a few questions if you have the time. First off: You are growing highlanders really surprisingly well considering the climate. How long have you had the N. veitchii x lowii N. talangensis x veitchii and N. tobaica for? Did those pitchers form since you received the plants or if they were already there?

yeah Rob, Hongrui's collection and skills belies his age. Shows you can be good at something when you put your heart to it.
Hongrui,
Your northy is very nice. Do you have a picture of the whole plant? I'm still waiting for my "giant red" northy to pitcher. The plant is almost 2 feet tall with big leaves. Not pitchering. Was told it's a female too.
Meanwhile I'll just have to be contented with the pitchers(1cm) of the 2 northiana ****es that I have.
Rgds,

Hongrui, i'm quite certain bigger and matured pitcher will produce more red colouration.

thanks Rob, you're too kind. i received the veitchii x lowii and the tobaica 'red' in Jan this yr, while talangensis x veitchii was received in Sept this yr. the pitchers shown are all formed here in singapore.
isaac, thanks! i'll take a picture of the plant for you later.
robert, you think so? i'll cross my fingers and wait patiently for the northiana to grow bigger.

Hongrui,
Its interesting how your photo of pure veitchii resembles like a dead-ringer the currently sold hurrelliana x veitchii from MT.
You will also discover (If you haven't seen evidence already) that your SEED origin plants far exceeds those from tc. This is part of my rants why nepenthes growers need to see that SEED-origin plants (are not even remotely similar) are far superior over tc plants.
There is no such thing as a superior selected form from tc or "selected" clones from any tc supplier. They are selling plants at random as "IF" they were seed origin plants!
The exception to this are hybrid tc clones of plants with specific traits. Such as Red Dragon, these are set examples of a clone that is represented for that HYBRID.

Limestone Cliff Dwellers
« Reply #76 on Mar 20, 2008, 11:20am »
i've just realised that i've not posted any new pics here in a very long time.  hehe to atone for that little mistake, here are 2 limestone cliff dwellers:
N. campanulata [BE]
another view
N. northiana, an older pitcher
latest pitcher
the N. campanulata is growing better now that i've switched it out of peat/perlite mix. all i need now is a N. clipeata. « Last Edit: Mar 20, 2008, 8:49pm by hongrui »Link to Post - Back to Top Loggedlooking for different forms of N. ampullaria, N. rafflesiana and N. xhookeriana.

hongrui, what's the media that you use for the N. campanulata & N. northiana?
I thought I saw coarse red soil - I've used this mixed with some sphagnum + perlite for my n. mirabilis and they are really thriving! I'm wondering if I can use the same for n. northiana.

Athene, both the camp and north are in 80% burnt earth and 20% peat/perlite. the peat/perlite mix is packed mainly around the root mass to prevent dehydration after transplanting. the white bits in the N. campanulata pot are actually limestone chips, but camps and norths do not seem to need it in their media. i have other pots of camps and norths without the limestone chips and they grow okay too.

hongrui,
its an achievement to grow neps in pure soil.
Some say that the soil must be washed thoroughly to drain away the nutrients before applying it to neps.
Is it myth or fact? what about ur case?
