My Northiana

Good growing both of you. Robert, how much light and duration did you expose to your northiana? Did you spray often?

Robert... How I wish mine is pitchering for me...

Gorgeous northiana, robert... :D Mine needs another 5 years to get to that stage. lol

Jimmy, i grow it in open garden and it gets natural sunlight and rain. I water spray lightly on every plant everyday unless it rains. They are under 60% single layer nursery shade.

casey, once the conditions was right and it produces healthy leaves, pitchers will follow soon.

paphio,it depends on your local conditions.some tend to grow faster.

Is the length of sun exposure affects its performance? Mine receive around 6 hour only....

on average 6-8 hrs was sufficient. plant without light would not be healthy.

Robert, that is stunning! What do you think of my northiana? I am wondering whether it actually is increasing in size or not compared to the past few months. Is this the normal rate of growth of this plant or mine is like super super slow?

Wow, wow, wow...... Robert, that's a beauty. The one you're holding is growing on the ground? Are those growing in the pot producing the same stunning big pitchers? I'm wondering if the cool roots affect the pitcher size assuming temperature under the ground is cooler campared to media in the pot.

edward, it's doing very well from the first photo to the present. The leaves and pitcher have increased in size. Northiana's growth is slow.

TS, it was from the same pot. The larger pitcher was from the main vine.

Very nice looking. Leaf texture is good also.
Mine has been growing steadily over past half a year. Still a long way before getting such attractive pitchers.

In Jan,


In Aug,

Only 1 small pitcher at the moment.
