I'm sure you have all heard of how people got square watermelons...Well what if you did the same thing with a develpoing Nepenthes pitcher? Do you think you would get the same results? (lol...square pitchers )

 

[DerbyCityNeps]

several people have had pitcher form in weird places...therfore have strange shaped pitchers! id say give it a try! i only think it would work for the tubby/ squat pitchered neps like sibuyanensis.

I have some wacky lookin pitchers on an N.ventricosa- somehow the tendrils dug between the medium and the side of the pot, so they're almost perfectly flat, seemingly 2-dimensional, so I imagine a square one should work kinda- if you make one, take a pic!!

 

[droseraguy]

That sounds like a great idea. Give it a go and post some picks !

Alright...now i just gotta find something to make it square...

 

[nepenthes_ak]

If your nep is big enough a small death cube?

 

[CP_dude]

not big enough....i was thinking i would take some cardboard and some ducktape ^_^

 

[Jayson16]

those small plastic death cubes is a real good idea. Yeah make it outta some cardboard n ducktape or could make a small wooden frame

 

[nepenthes_ak]

find a kinda square shot glass then.

 

[mabudon]

Yeah, or a candle holder- I imagine getting light on it would help out a bit at least, something opaque might slow it down a bit

 

[DerbyCityNeps]

what nep do you have just wondering?

a neat one would be having the pitcher going down a glass or plastic tube. perfectly round when done
