Deformed Monsters of the Nepenthes world
« Thread Started on May 15, 2007, 1:09pm » Here are two new pitchers of on my bicalcarata and truncata. I guess this is due to changes in the environment, ie. suddenly hot weather, suddenly rainy, no sun, suddenly cold at night, etc. The weather is very unpredictable these days, no thanks to our nemesis, ie. "Global Warming".

N. truncata, lowland. Notice the half develop lid. It never did open.



N. bicalcarata from Sri Aman with no lid at all. ... Cool! New species! Lidless pitcher... haa, haa...

Please not I did not break off the lid.

If it gets cloudy in the afternoon or morn` ( can`t remember when the sun comes into your condo ) for that day, then it`s no sunlight until tmrw already. If it repeats itself a few days ( it usually does, coz rainclouds will appear at about the same time daily ), then yes, your Neps` growth will be affected.

Pity. U have such nice plants.

Even those of us who plant our Neps outside worry about too many cloudy or rainy days. Sarracenias, droseras & pings seem to be unaffected though.

bifurcatum, so far all of my plantlets are ok. no deformed leaves. Maybe because they are under my grow chamber. Everthing is constant unlike beside my window.
