What a beauty. Can't wait for mine to grow it's pitchers. Mine started to revive after I place it outside my apartment window. I guess the cooler air and stronger sunlight helps. A new pitcher is opening.

How much sunlight do you give this fella Tarence? How about water?

While Lady Pauline grows rapidly somewhat initially, I have found EP's reverse cross of N. maxima x talangensis to be more vigorous especially as the plant approaches upper vining and flowering stages. N. talangensis as the mother clearly shows the weaker side of talangensis for those living in warmer growing conditions.

The Lady Pauline since this is from a specific clone, prefers highland conditions almost exclusively. While the reverse cross are seedlings, each will adapt and respond to whatever temperatures are thrown at them.

I have uppers on all my Lady Pauline and max x talangensis, and the max x talangensis are superior in form over the Lady Paulines!

Hello,

Nice plant Tarence! Thanks for showing. I wonder where you got it?

Lady Pauline is indeed about as vigorous as a Nepenthes ever gets and makes a great plant to exhibit. Here are some plants in our nursery:

and this is one exhibited at Chelsea:



The upper pitchers too are lovely, having a translucent beauty. This one (also at Chelsea) shows the colouration:



The translucent effect of the uppers is best shown with backlighting:

We find it tolerates warm conditions quite well.

Cheers!

Again, this plant is a clear example of a plant grown highland not the warm tropics as we experience growing. I have Lady Pauline and trust me, it is not that well adapted for warm growing. For those who might wonder why your plants seems to produce smaller and weaker vines, consider the photos you see of plants grown cool, and then look at your own plants in front of you. Believe me, its not your growing conditions, but rather the less than desirable growing conditions that the particular tc clone is not adapted to. Seed-origin plants adapt better and cope with your actual growing conditions. You will experience these phenomenon over time.

We propagate this hybrid from a TC clone both out of the flask but mostly vegetatively from cuttings. It tolerates warm conditions quite well as I said but of course it's easier to grow in intermediate conditions. It's also highly vigorous.

Time will expose itself.
Meanwhile, we sit, wait and wait, and wait, and wait and wait.
The improbable is that talangensis x maxima will grow best in cold climates, and somewhat diminish over time (short time) in warmer climates.

I did not say anything about it being a slow grower. it just will have difficulty looking decent in the upper pitcher stage. We will be interested in seeing your plant when the green pitchers are produced.
