LJ_Tan - Nepenthes

[LJ_Tan]

My 1st Nepenthes was Nepenthes ampullaria on May 2009 but I stop it after the 1st Nepenthes because of to some reason.

After I jointed this forum, I started again for Nepenthes because of N. viking

I learn a lot after visit to NepNut house and I will modify my garden for Nepenthes

I hope can learn more for Nepenthes.

N. mirabilis var. globosa (N. viking) :

It's was "Green" when 09.05


But now it was "Red"


It was "Green" on 09.05


I hope it can be more 'Red'

My 1st Nepenthes : N. ampullaria

N. ampullaria - this is a gift from my friend and it was different with my 1st N. ampullaria

[LJ_Tan]

N. mirabilis - this is from my friend also but why have 2 different color

[caseyhoo]

wauh!!! a lots of viking!!!!

For N. mirabilis var globosa, you need to hide those pitcher from sunlight in order to get reddish color. It is difference from others nepenthes...

Hi LJ,
Nice N. mirabilis var globosa from Boon. Most N. mirabilis and it's variant's pitcher will get bleach if exposed to strong sunlight. If you want to maintain the reddish pitcher, hide the pitchers, away from sunlight.

However, pls don't misunderstand that the plants will also need to be shaded, actually most N. mirabilis and it's variants grow best in full direct sun when it's mature. Please remember to do this step by step, if not you might hurt the plants when you suddenly move them to full direct sunlight.

eeemmm... any one know what others nepenthes plant that require their pitcher hide from sunlight in order to get their potential color? Beside N. mirabilis var globosa.

As I know from Robert, some of ampullaria and some mirabilis need so... Now, come to question, which amp and mirabilis need so?how we know that?

Tan, sorry for out of topic...
