That ventricosa x aristolochioides is stunning! Good growing Ludwig!

I love the ventricoas x sibuyanensis. Kinda reminds me of N. merrilliana and N. rajah.

Hi Ludwig,

Can I know what conditions the ventri x arist is grown in? Can it be grown in lowland conditions since there is the ventri parentage there? Nice plant. Was wandering since we can't grow arist in the hot tropical climate, if this hybrid can survive it would be a good subsitute. It still has a slightly angled peristome almost verticle like it's parent arist.

Hi David,

Quote:Can it be grown in lowland conditions since there is the ventri
I don't think ventricosa will do well in lowland conditions. This hybrid definitely does better in cooler conditions, especially at night. Too many warm nights may kill off the pitchers but the plant will probably survive. I still wouldn't say it is a true warm grower...hope this helps and thanks for the compliments.

I like the vent x tm. It's like a better version of ventricosa (you know how I feel about most of the species lol....außer K/porzellan). « Last Edit: Apr 25, 2008, 4:10pm by phissionkorps »Link to Post - Back to Top LoggedNatura non facit saltum

Great plants Ludwig. I also, esp, like the ventri x aristo.,

since we're all addicted might as well get one and try

Hybrids as such usually adapt better. I have a fusca x reinwardtiana which is doing ok, pitchers may not be as startling as those in highland conds., but 4" length pitchers is quite an accomplishment. I will post the photo in a new thread.

Thank you for the comments...just as many growers would like to grow highlanders that are easy for me, I envy those who grow large mature rafflesiana, ampularia and sumatrana plants. It's very difficult for us over here.
