N. lowii x truncata
« Thread Started on Jun 10, 2008, 5:08am »
Does anyone else here grow the hybrid? Have any photos?

This new pitcher just opened, and is among the largest its ever made for me. Which isnt saying much because this is off a basal shoot that is now as large as the main growth point was when it stopped making pitchers . It'll be interesting to see how this differs from the shape of the ones produced on the main growth...

Well, I dont grow it yet but I do like this particular hybrid very much Out of curiosity, did your main vine stop producing pitchers when it started to send up the basal shoot? Do you have any pics of the pitchers it produced from the main growing vine?
Good growing and beautiful pitcher! Hopefully you will post another pic as the pitcher ages

Actually, it had just started to produce pitchers again when it started warming and the basal was getting larger. However, I had to sell some cuttings, so I never got to see what the uppers are like. This basal grew very very rapidly, and stronger than the original.

No seedlings left. People should have enough material for cuttings, especially EP. I'm currently trying to do an air layer cutting right now, after chopping the vine twice. The hybrid produces a nice internode length with a fast growth rate, so there really should be a lot of cutting material out there. It's all a matter of how open collectors want to be with sharing their plants.

I guess I'll just wait till my truncata's start blooming to make a new generation.

More photos. I tried to get a shot of the darker side of the pitcher that faces the sun. This pitcher is very nearly 10", a very nice size. God I can't see 12" and above !

It's pretty interesting how much of a difference there is between different plants of the same cross. It looks like JK's takes more after N. lowii, and Lamentime's takes more after truncata.

btw I think you guys have poisoned me. I want a lowii x truncata now too! « Last Edit: Jun 18, 2008, 7:30am by marigoldsfail21 »Link to Post - Back to Top
