You have spectacular plants--how/what do you feed them?

Hello Everyone!

Its been about a year since my last update! Most of my time lately has been devoted to my primary hobby, brewing and writing about beer. Luckily, with my automated setup the Nepenthes collection can keep doing its thing even while I ignore them for the most part. Here are some photos I took this morning while clearing old dead leaves & pitchers out of the chamber. Cheers!

N. (eymae x (stenophylla x lowii)) x Trusmadiensis

N. (eymae x (stenophylla x lowii)) x Trusmadiensis

Upper pitchers on N. aristolochioides. This plant has done fantastically and grown about 4-5 feet of climbing vine before sprouting numerous new growth points. Stay tuned for cuttings!

And then some.

'Really enjoyed the N. burbidgeae photo. And I thought N. glabrata looked hand-painted!

 

[Dexenthes]

Very excellent!

Some that really stand out to me - N. muluensis x lowii upper pitchers, N. vogelli and-

I love the N. sibuyanensis x hamata. I remember for a long time there was speculation as to whether or not that cross was truly a hamata's offspring or not. I think your pitcher appears to be an upper? It seems to dispel any doubt that I could have in my mind about its parentage.

 

[Harow]

Wow, perfectly grown plants!

 

[Red Lowii]

Hey Matt, How did those N. muluensis x lowii crosses go?

The first cross labeled a sib x hamata were not that cross. It was more recently redone however to produce true plants of that parentage.

Really? There was a definitive conclusion about the parentage of that first cross? What did the parent end up being, if not N. hamata? Is Matt's plant the re-issue?

 

[hcarlton]

I don't think the parentage of the first attempt was ever resolved. Matt's plant is almost certainly the second round, true cross, though of course he would know better than I
