Couple Questions

[nepenthes_ak]

N. macrovulgaris x reinwardtiana
N. rokko x stenophylla

Some interesting hybrids are out, and I was just wondering about those two, Are they highland orlowland? Petflytraps (Cook's) has a bunch of new ones and I was wondering.

Thanks!

I grow 2 large rokko x fallaxs...fallaxi? whatever...I have two of them haha. Anyway, I gorw them as intermediates, though I'm quite sure they would appreciate it more as highlanders. From my experience, they refuse to pitcher unless places in a high humidity environment. I can offer more advice as to if growing it as a highlander is a better idea in a few months, as temperatures are just beginning to drop where I live.

Just look at the parents and that tells you whether they are high or low or intermediate.

macrovulgaris is a highlander

reinwardtiana is a highlander

This hybrid is a highlander


x rokko is an intermediate

stenophylla is a highlander

This hybrid is an intermediate

Easy

What do you mean you don't see anything? All I did was break down the crosses by parent...

I keep my (x rokko) x stenophylla outdoors all year here in Northern Taiwan, where there's tropical conditions from April to October and chilly conditions all the way down to 3°C from November to April. It's growing very well and has just produced its latest six-inch pitcher.

I do the same with macrovulgaris x reinwardtiana, but this one doesn't seem to like the summer heat too much. Or maybe it's because it's still a baby.

Nevertheless, I think both these guys have the potential to do well in a whole slew of different environs (high humidity a must, of course).
