Default Well It only Took TWO year's

Well I bought this plant 2 years ago from Ebay (Sam) The plant was HUGE when I got it . It had two 18 inch vines.
N. Medusa (N. Sib x N. Bellii )


This plant seems too Basal, basal, basal, then start to die off, I assume from the stress. Then I removed all of the basals from the main vine, and would basal one more time then die off . I have seen this happen nearly 3 times in two years.

Now that I have had and saved this plant from its' unknown killer twice I have learned a pinch about it . I have noticed in my care , an experience that this hybrid seems to only grow in the highest range of humidity, Mine is 90% and above at all times. Light doesn't seem to be an issue due to the two parents not being Sun lovers (" Light- Shaded conditions. It grows very well in a large chamber under lights. )( http://www.cpjungle.com/nucbel.htm ) CP Jungle). But I have mine growing under just regular shop lights from home depot ,staying on for about 14 hrs,as well as a heat mat under the pots.

So with out further due here it is in all its glory FINALLY after two years.



Oh And BTW way the temp is 80º
