ampullaria

[rbjong]

Hi everyone,it is a common sight to see ampullaria growing in clump on the stem above the ground but this one is bigger than the usual i came across. In captivity when/at what stage will such behaviour appears.

Environment-under shades of big trees,only receives sunlight from 11.30 to 1.00pm, more or less. mossy,sandy substrate, dead leaves,brackish water,hill slope.

I observed as it started to form vine and new basals formed Clump such as this will form on the main stem and on the new basals.Therefore there shouldn't be any cutting inorder to enjoy seeing such behaviour...Robert

How long is the main vine on which these pitchers are formed?

someone should water their ampullaria with brackish water and compare it to a plant watered with pure water.
