Thanks Kenneth. For me, (vent x sibu) x truncata is growing steadily, I guess anything with (vent x sibu) should be quite adaptable to our LL tropical weather but this doesn't mean every seed grown hybrids from this cross will be as adaptable though....

I see....Anyway ordered that for the group purchase by fauzi already Shall give it a try...

Come to think of it, I never posted any N. x bauensis before...

Hahahhaha...maybe its because of the gracilis parentage and we tend to ignore them..but looking at the nicely striped peristome...am tempted to get one too! Hehehhee

Hahaha... maybe...

However, I think of all the natural hybrids of N. gracilis (as much as I managed to collect), this is probably the most finicky N. gracilis hybrid... likely a trait inherited from N. northiana...

yes, i and why i said so is because the pitcher's shape, peristome and lid tends to be more like a gracilis and the other parent's trait...however your n x bauensis carries n. northiana's peristome...

[edwardyeeks]

Just get N. northiana but still, the bauensis is a nice little plant. Is it vigorous growing like gracilis?

[NepNut]

I think Kevyn must already got N. northiana ... He's looking for excuses to get more new neps...

I would say N. x bauensis is much easier to grow if compared to pure N. northiana. However it's not as vigorous like pure gracilis and other natural gracilis hybrids.

very nice to have you back, nepnut... northiana is my favourite... bauensis is new to me. does it grow big pitchers like northiana too? Maybe someone can make a cross of bauensis and northiana to create faster growing northiana-like hybrids...
