Default Preview of my Adult Northiana Picture

Finally, after 2 years of keeping this adult plant, it pitchers!!!

This is really a very picky plant, I have shifted it so many times. Now it is enjoying its place in the sun.

Here's some pictures I took last week, couldn't wait, so I took a few first.

You don't know how much suspense it was waiting for it to grow the pitcher because Northiana is so sensitive that anything wrong in the environment then it will stop growing.

This morning it finally opened half a lid, I'll take a picture tomorrow, the upper area of the lips is really awesome, everything I hoped it would be!

Meanwhile, you just have to bear with some preview pics.

Developing a really close relationship with the amp green.


The plant itself. Notice the tendrils everywhere?


Tried to measure the size of the unopened pitcher last Friday. About 4 inches already.


All I can say is that, it is MOMENTS that these that made me keep CPs.

Rgds,
Isaac

Morning Sun(3hrs max) only, since I'm growing it on balcony of my condo unit. The rest of the day is probably bright lights and not direct sun.

Maybe five inches and hopefully can still grow further like some Neps. This morning it opened half of the lid, didn't take the picture. The lips is very attractive. It's not like those baby Northiana pitcher lips. This is real lips that makes Northiana so special.

Thats fantastic Isaac!I'm getting my Northiana too from Fauzi.Hope mine grows just like yours.If it's a female,why not pollinate it with something else.There is viking pollen available in the Market place.
Good luck!!

I'm so happy to see the pitcher opened, still not totally, but it's such a beauty. I wish the peristome is wider, maybe it will as it matures.

Here's some pictures I took this morning (29 July 08).



Close look, see the upper part of the peristome.


Side view


Cheers.

Congrats Isaac. It's unique that the tendrils bend towards the same direction and same angle. well done. You plant is quite big already. Great job!

David,

Yup, it's quite big, would consider it as Adult and it's a female too. It's the side shoot that is producing all the pitchers now. Actually, the tendril all goes the same direction, downward! Maybe it's the angle of how i took the picture. I have another pitcher opening at the same time on the right right too.
