Baby Ed.

(N. edwardsiana)
Took me almost two years to get it to this point.
It's starting to move along a little quicker now with each new leaf.

WOW, even 2 yrs is ok to wait for something like a edwardsiana. Isn't it only tolerant to ultra HL temps?
great nep and (what was already said) very hard to find.
peace,

Cute baby N. edwardsiana it looks very healthy and happy and I bet it'll get some growth spurts as it gets more bigger.. =)

What's your Nep mix for this beast JMatt?

 

[JMatt]

I use a bunch of different mixes, I'm going to have to check.
Being a seedling it might be just long fiber sphagnum moss and chunky perlite. It's been some time and I can't really remember what I used?
I'll check tomorrow. Some of my other neps I have cyprus bark mulch, coconut husks chips, peat, long fiber sphagnum, perlite and lava rock.
When I first got the seedling it was smaller than a quarter. I'm pretty sure I didn't want the mix to drain too freely so my guess is sphagnum moss and perlite. I don't think I will repot it right away. It's happy and I don't want to mess with it. I don't think I could get another one.

No kidding! You (and we bicariously through your pictures) have a lot to look forward to. Thanks for sharing. The teeth are great on such small pitchers.

[Grey Moss]

You must have friends in very high places to get a plant like that.

 

[JMatt]

I do know some people who really know there stuff!
I consider myself very lucky to have it!
There are others on here who have this plant, much farther along than mine. I hope we see pictures of them sometime.

This isn't the best picture of the pitchers, but this shot shows the new leaf on mine. This is very, very encouraging!

[Jefforever]

WOW! How'd you get a hold of one of those?!?! Good luck with it.

 

[The Griffin]

What did you guys do to get yours moving(besides optimum highland conditions)?

 

[JMatt]

The Griffin,
I just gave mine the best conditions I could and I really didn't mess with it much. After almost two years I think mine has finally settled in. The pitchers are getting big enough now where I give them a little dilute fertilizer. I have feed the pitchers a few times this way. I think it is helping.


Excellent plant there capslock!
That next pitcher should look awesome!
I knew there were others out there. I would like to see how Jeremiah's is doing.
