Its a very nice plant. I have S. oreo. Dave Taylor which looks very similar but has not got the heavy veining of yours but colours in a more general manner in the sun.

It does get a little more sun but not much. Should I remove it somewhere shaded then to give it a bit more chance?

It was used to standing in another undraining pot of water but now its submerged in the soil of my bog but only level to the lower rim of the pot so it don't creep. This summer is being a bit warm over here but I'm sure it don't need ice cubes yet! I would just like to rescue it before it goes...

I have my darlingtonia outside permanently and it was in its own pot in water. this spring I built a mini bog and put it in there although to contain it a bit I kept it submerged in its own pot. It threw up the two biggest pitchers yet (6") and now all of the pitchers are going a pretty yet...

I think I have one of these that is definately from a Dutch supplier but was merely labelled as Nep hybrid. It sounds the same by description. It took a while to settle in but is now taking off and has produced two lower pitchers this season. The leaves are shorter and fatter than khalsiana or...

Mine is bursting out of the 3" pot it came in but I don't want to do anything with it yet as its still getting used to my window sill.

I have a fairly recently aquired leucophylla which has flowered nicely and I was expecting a proliferation of pitchers but they are very slow! Its a large rhizome so thought it may have a few.It has sent one up which has opened but is very very slender ( compared with my alata and stevensii )...

Thanks Vic, Yes it is Dutch as its a B&Q special as I pick up a few odd plants there during the year. Its a big plant as you say and is bigger than my Moranensis. Does it reproduce with the same vigourousness as moranensis-if so I'd better put it in a bucket!

I have just boought one of these (or thats what the label said) but I cannot find it in my books. Anyone give me a clue on its pedigree or how it should best be treated.

I seperated a capensis last autumn and planted it in a watertight pot with a Sarra alata. This was left out over the winter under a plastic cover. It remained green although dormant and is now producing new growth whereas those indoors on the windowsill have gone all brown and look dead. I'm...

Sorry DE tried to make it as plain as I could having found no reference in Savage Garden or C.P.'s by A Slack about this issue. My maranensis started life a few months ago as a nice little plant with one growing point (like all the pics you see). It flowered and split into two which have grown...

I raised this when it last flowered but my moranensis has flowered again. After the first occaision when it produced two growing 'heads' one half has flowered and produced four 'heads' and the other half is about to flower and has already two ' heads'. How often can I expect this to happen? Is...

Trashcan I agree with NG as pic#4 looks more like psittacina than purpurea with that prominant wing. I can't really tell about#5 though. I have both and they are rapidly outgrowing the 4" pots they are each in. They grow berserk psitticina a bit less than purpurea I would just let them grow. If...

My capensis is quite a size and has about 4 plants in the same pot which have grown very well. It ecently flowered and I have cut the dead flowers off only now a lot of the lower leaves have died and it looks ugly. Before it flowered it was lush and green. Will it recover on its own or does it...

I have a purpurea on a window sill and it appears to develop red veining as it opens and whilst opening to full extent it grows outwards into the characteristic shape and then starts the process of turning completely red.
