Wow nice Pictures Francois.
Thanks for Sharing them.
How is your aristo growing? Is it a slow grower for you?
I have one for about 1 year and the first sixt month i have grow it under a 400W hps light with my others wich was not good for this plant. The plant makes in this time maybe 1-2 leaves.
Now i have put it under 2x 39w T5 lights wich seems is much better for aristo. Now comes the first pitchers.

I am always amazed to see your bical growing well together with your aristolochioides. That in itself is an accomplishment!

THAT IS SOME AWSOME SPHAGNUM MOSS! I have never seen such a nice green variety like that, wow, are those spore capsules in the 2nd picture? The bical and the ramispina are good too, I guess. Nice pitcher coloration.

Really nice plants you have there. I can see you've taken very good care of them. Love the coloration on your bical, and the N. aristolochioides is simple georgous. Hmm, another reason to save some money and build a cold terrarium.

Like marigoldsfail21, I think your sphagnum moss is awsome! It really does compliment your aristo very well. « Last Edit: Mar 14, 2008, 9:28am by David »Link to Post - Back to Top LoggedMy Wantlist sockhom

Hello .


Thanks David and all of you for the nice words.
I have no merit to grow that Sphagnum. It is easier to grow it here in the northern hemisphere.

@Michael: Thanks for the compliment. Glad to hear from you. Remember that my N. bicalcarata grows in a huge tank in my living-room and all my highlanders are cultivated in terrariums in my cold garage.


@Jens: i think N. aristolochioides is a fast grower in my conditions:

Her's a shot of the plant in august 2006, 3/4 months after the reception (from Wistuba). The bigger leaves developped under my care. The plant was thus smaller than what you see when i got it.




Here is the plant in summer 2007:


Not too bad, isn't it?

Sock,
Your conditions are so perfect when you see volunteer seedlings at the base of established plants this is a sign of near perfect growing conditions.
You should also try N. lamii and argentea too since these smaller plants should be better contained in a smaller enclosure.

Thanks for the compliment again Michael but those sedlings have been placed by me around the aristolochioides . They were boschiana seedllings which were searching for some free space .

I will try N. lamii next fall and i am already tying N. argentii: not so easy but i think it's starting to grow.


Friendly,

François. « Last Edit: Mar 15, 2008, 7:53am by sockhom »Link to Post - Back to Top Logged sockhom

Hello !


Some more plants from France:




It looks like my N. aristolochioides is going to develop an upper pitcher. I'm quite surprised because it is only a 15 cm across specimen.


- Nepenthes hamata:



- Nepenthes jacquelinae. At last, the few last pitchers began to develop that flared peristome the species is so famous for. It still a youngster, though:



- Nepenthes glabrata:



- Nepenthes macfarlanei:



-Nepenthes eustachya:



- Nepenthes adnata:




Hope you like it.
