It's fattening out and the spines are starting to form. « Last Edit: Apr 22, 2007, 10:22pm by zakhren »Link to Post - Back to Top 219.95.131.12 zakhren

As you can see, it's starting to colour up and has gotten bigger. Plus the spines have come out fully. Still hasn't started opening the lid yet though. « Last Edit: Apr 28, 2007, 7:14pm by zakhren »Link to Post - Back to Top 218.111.30.171 zakhren

« Reply #46 on May 4, 2007, 12:07pm » I always wish the pitcher will open as late as possible coz I seem to notice that the pitcher seem to stop growing once it opens. Is it true for you guys? So everytime the plant shoot a new pitcher I will be thinking "don't open yet, don't open yet, grow somemore grow somemore".

« Reply #47 on May 4, 2007, 12:16pm » Haha really? Well can't change when it decides to open so I just enjoy the process. Pitchers will reach their maximum size with ideal growing conditions and age. Can't do much about it

« Reply #48 on May 4, 2007, 3:12pm » I think what fishingman says is true. That's what I noticed about my developing pitchers too. Once they open the lid, they stop growing any bigger.

Maybe what you can do is to cheat the pitcher. I have not tried this but maybe you can test it out and see what happens. Get a clear plastic bag and wrap around the developing pitcher. Spray water in the plastic bag before you close it up. That way it's super humid around the pitcher. Who knows this might encourage bigger pitchers. Don't seal the plastic tight tho'. Leave a little gap so that when the sun shines on it, the temperatures will not cook the developing pitcher inside the plastic bag. « Last Edit: May 4, 2007, 3:14pm by David »Link to Post - Back to Top LoggedMy Wantlist 3sgjeffery

The peristome wraped back and hardened, along with colouring up.

And now you can see how a pitcher is formed. « Last Edit: May 18, 2007, 5:21pm by zakhren »Link to Post - Back to Top 219.94.116.202
