« Reply #11 on Aug 30, 2007, 11:33am » Actually for truncata specifically, the attraction is the truncated leaves itself...hence the probable decision by the `mutant masters` to play around with the leaves. honestly, the pitcher itself for truncata is not showy . it could have also been developed more for commercial rather than aesthetic values. I do agree it`s not the prettiest of nep mutants.
Lau did not manage to get a pic of the plant profile, perhaps it`ll give a better view of how the leaves compliment the pitcher.

« Reply #12 on Sept 7, 2007, 3:03pm » I see Tarence...because the way I look at it, it looks like a money plant with over-variegated patterns. I saw similar stuff with alata too, without the pitchers it looks like a dracaena . I'll probably have to see one on the spot to appreciate it fully.

Tarence: Calling Bifurcatum as Bif? haha u reminded me of Back to the Future movie Btw, do u know Terance Steadman?

« Reply #16 on Sept 7, 2007, 10:50pm » Now it comes to variegation.....my fav. subject.
You see those are called marbling effect, where yellow and green co-exist in 1 single leaaf creating a desired pattern. As for variegation, it would appear as linear lines of yellow running along the leaves margin.

What I find is that that truncata (its parent) could be intentionly stimulated by means of chemical or harmful rays (beta / gamma)to produce desired leaf patterns and thus mass produced for the market. Thais are extremely good in this. They will make variegation or marbling out of almost any plants deem suitable.......even a coconut tree!

So, is the plant came from Thailand???
