N. albomarginata at my balcony
« Thread Started on Sept 27, 2007, 6:41pm » I have got quite a few different clones of albomarginata but here are three of my favourite.

Kuching spotted (MT)


The upper pitcher's peristome is reddish brown and the body is speckled red.


purple black (EP)


The upper pitcher's peristome becomes black.


An immature upper pitcher (left) with peristome still red and body speckled red.


The mature upper pitcher's peristome is black and the body is speckled purple.


rubra (EP)


This clone's pitcher is more stout and the peristome is wider.

The two clones are different. The Kuching spotted upper pitchers retain their red peristomes and red speckles. The purple black peristome turns completely black and the speckling becomes purple. Very nice.

ameliepoulain,
You are being kind. My balcony is near ideal for albos I would say. But because I want to flower them, I haven't taken any cuttings yet. The Kuching spotted is more than 12ft long is going from one end of my balcony to the other end....thinking of cutting it because it gave me one lateral shoot right in the middle of the vine.

David,
They are hanging at each corner of my balcony, on the left and on the right. Very bright shade the entire day except for the purple black which gets 2-3 hours of direct sunlight from the setting sun. I tried giving them more light by draping the vine over the ledge but they became grouchy. Now I just leave them as they are. My balcony faces North, slightly to the West. Morning sun is blocked but the whole area is still very bright.

Robert's right. The form he posted is very light green, nearly yellow with brown peristome. Very unique.

I can see why you love your albos just like I do mine. They are perfect for our weather and grows even better than my gracillis.

Hope one day mine will be just like yours.

Rgds,
Isaac

Issac, I have to agree with you on that. I've got three forms of red gracilis and in terms of speed of growth and size of pitchers, these three fall behind albomarginata.
