Re: truncata, had to post this:)
I'm guessing this is a HL form or maybe a "greenhouse bred" clone from EP?

Re: truncata, had to post this:)
Thanks for the whole plant pic. It's doing well and that would suggest the roots are massive and healthy. To repot it's best not to disturb the roots and repotted with all the original media.

Re: truncata, had to post this:)
There are hundreds of different forms of N. truncata! I have 8 plants all grown from seed, and no two are exactly alike, some with wider perisomes, some green, and others more red, some very cylindrical, other wide and squat, and this is only from a single site! There are "highland" (actually intermediate) forms that have a slightly hairy petiole, and may become very dark red in some individual plants. - Rich

Re: truncata, had to post this:)
I like playing fairy-godmother to neglected plants. During my last trip to Cameron Highland back in early august, I 'saved' a good-sized N. truncata for next to nothing. The plant was covered in dust, no pitcher - just the shape of the leaves gives away it's variety. Took it home, gave it a good bath & brushing using sable hair's - it was almost decent looking
After a couple of months, it produced a miniscule pitcher, barely 2" long. The next leaf looks more promising, the pitcher doubling in size weekly. As we were leaving for the long Eid weekend, I noticed that the pitcher was about 4" + the lid has not open yet, there's still hope there When I got back yesterday morning, the lid is just opening, I was too sleepy to measure the size properly, so I just used my palm to eyeball it. Much later, after 2 loads of laundry, I measure my palm. Surprised, thinking that I must have measured a leaf or something else during the early morning I took a ruler to the garden. So it's true, I did measure the new pitcher, and it is slightly more than 6" long! Not bad for a charity case huh! |

Re: truncata, had to post this:)
Here's a photo of the N. truncata, eventhough the peristome is still not well-formed, I see a lot of potential
those are the two pitchers I spoke about before. |
