From my experience this plant can grow some long (and sometimes branching) vines and once it does, it tends to start producing basal rosettes like an N. ampullaria. I've had entire 24" pots have their surface covered in basals! It also seems to root fairly easily from cuttings, both in sphagnum/perlite mix or in pure water (1-2 months in either case) but splitting the bottom 1/4" of the stem seems to really help a lot. My mix has always been 60% coco cubes/30% pumice/10% charcoal.

Thanks Shawn. Appreciate your input.

Have anyone tried any fertilizer application on this hybrid with good results? How about other members? What do you guys use as the media for this hybrid. Please let us know if the media you use helps in growing vigorous plants so I can add into the list.

How about sunlight, temp. and humidity? Does everyone agree with what I wrote above? Would appreciate confirmation on these info before I upload it. Tks

I used cocochip + sand + perlite and they grow like weeds.... The only fertilizer I applied are those slow release pelletes like osmocote. The rest of the cultivation info seems ok by me.

FYI, N. x trichocarpa can also be found in southern Thailand.

Thanks Robert. Will add "Southern Thailand" in the country of origin.

Hey, how about our friends from Thailand (except Shawn). I am sure alot of you in Thailand grow this hybrid. Would be great if you guys can share some information here. Thanks in advance.
