Whoops, forgot to answer Peter and Christian.

Peter, the lights are Fluorex compact fluorescent fixtures, which I get at the local Home Depot. They are really cheap, and grow neps great!

Christian, here's a pic of the thorelli x aristo. First, an upper:

And here's a lower:

And as a bonus for wading through all this, here's a mystery aristo hybrid. Any guesses?

Ohhh can`t wait till I have one in my grubby paws! You realy like aristos and there progany eh?

The hybrid might be aristo x tentaculata?

 

[rlhirst]

nice pics Caps! great growing chamber!
curious....whats your humidity read in your open settup there?
Thanks,
Robin

Where it is now averages a range of 60-85% most of the year. The next couple months are the trickiest, since we get spells of warm, dry weather in September/October where it can go down to 40% in here, and even less outdoors. But that's usually only for a few hours, and it cools down at night. I can keep the heat of the day out during these stretches, so it never gets over 80 in my house. Once the rains come I'm back in business, humidity-wise. It's fog in summer and rain in winter here, with sunnier springs and falls.

Good guess, noah, but nope.

[rlhirst]

thanks Caps.
I'm over here in vallejo envy-ing your humidity!
I'm gonna guess aristo x lavicola?

Robin

 

[pond boy]

Is it a plant related to tentaculata?

 

[SydneyNeps]

I'll help you guys out. The only aristo hybrids on the market at them moment that I'm aware of are: x thorelii, x ventricosa, x maxima, x tiveyi, x truncata.

 

[Spectabilis73]

artisto x truncata? (i see heart shaped leaves there)

 

[lithopsman]

Spec beat me to it! It's aristo x truncata!

 

[Capslock]

Spec got it, but Sydney gave a BIG hint!

[lithopsman]

Any more pics of aristo x venricosa?! I love the plant and really want one, but like I said before, when I inquired to Tony he said the last one had just sold. And of course a few days later there was a post about your new aristo x ventricosa...

 

[Capslock]

LOL! Sorry about that lithopsman! I'm sure he'll get more soon as it's a fantastic plant! I'll keep posting photos as the situation warrants. I've posted a couple of them so far. You can browse my photos here:

[lithopsman]

Hehe. I hope so! Very nice pics, I always love seeing pics of others' plants! Fortunately, I did get my hands on aristo x thorelli!!!!

 

[Tony Paroubek]

Currently alot of these new hybrids are in small supply and once they are gone it will be a while before someone remakes the cross or cuttings become available.

I would expect that you will see more of these neat hybrids in increasing numbers (and lower costs) as more and more growers have plants reach blooming size.

[lithopsman]

Exactly what I figured, and since the Nep boom started around 5-7 years ago, makes perfect since!

umm. hamata x aristo?

 

[lithopsman]

LOL kirk, it's aristo x truncata. Capslock already answered!  

 

EDIT: While I'm at it, here is a pic of aristo x thorelli... Not the best pic I have(but it was already uploaded), and it's a few months old, but just to give an idea of a different plant...

 

[pond boy]

Hmmm. I thought I was seeing tenticulata as I was judge from it`s simularity to predator but aperantley it was the truncata. Lol bad guess I guess Hmmm. that sounded weird::
