My N. medusa isn't giving me any great peril. But like all Nepenthes, whether I snap my arms, all my bones, jump off a bridge, sell my soul to Satan, spend hundreds of dollars, blood, sweat, or tears, I can't get it to pitcher.
It's got fairly good air movement. 70F weather, and it's pretty close to the light. Mines kicking it off after a little boost from some fertilizer (which, this same fertilizer, crippled my most promising pitchering example, N. ventricosa 'red') it's pumping out leaves pretty fast, it's made a basal shoot and I gave a cutting to Victoria since it had a vine.
Mine certainly isn't sad, but, eh, I can't get it to pitcher. I'm still clinging onto it.
Wolf...the tag on the flower in the oreophylla pic says "purp veined Georgia". What purp is that exactly? Where did you get it? I know that flower is not the purp's, it's obviously a cross you just made. I'm very interested in purps from GA.
mfh, you are correct that is a cross I made. I tried to get it out of the picture but was unable to. The S. purpurea venosa that I used to make the cross was from seed collected in Georgia. This particular plant just looked better then the rest and is very nicely veined which is why I labeled it the way I did. It is not a specific form of purp just I nice one I have been growing.
Thanks for the info. I'm interested in this because purpurea locals are scarce in GA. I have been looking for purps from GA. Is the purp you used the var montana form? I have one of those, but I think it comes from N.C.
