N. lowii x truncata

As many of you may know good air circulation is a must for many Nepenthes. This N. lowii x truncata sits in direct line of the output of a strong swamp cooler most of the day. The climbing stem in front of the lo x tr is a N. fusca. There is also a faizaliana plant putting out thick new growth in this position. The pitcher in the background is my best sibuyanensis x TM, also receiving wind most of the day from the unit. « Last Edit: Feb 11, 2008, 12:29pm by Ludwig »Link to Post - Back to Top Logged srduggins

awesome ! any cross with lowii produce the curvy shape that keep me staring at it.

In one of the trips we made to lowii habitat one women keep looking at all that we came across. Curious she took one lowii and investigate at all angle - to marvel at the curve or whatever in her thought

Robert I know exactly what you are saying! The more this plant produces a climbing stem the more lowii-like it becomes and the less truncata-like.

I believe that ALL the lowii hybrids take on that lowii trait. Wait until you see greener uppers with redder interior walls!
