New addition: Nepenthes platychila

[Brokken]

The lower pitchers are nothing special. I'm hoping that one day this little guy will put up upper pitchers that look like this:

 

[Capensis]

Nice little leaves

 

[SirKristoff]

i love how you receive nice plants from them, but i get *(#% plants lol. they must have it out for me >:|
nice plant though, cant wait to see it get bigger

 

[Jefforever]

I've only had good transactions w/ them.

This species used to be my fav. Have fun growing it!

 

[Capslock]

Great plant! Mine is an easy grower - I have it in fast-draining media and it's making its first upper right now. Good luck with yours - looks good and healthy!

SirKristoff: I repotted it as soon as I got it. The original pot was very small.

Nice plant Brokken.

Caps, do you have any pictures of your platychila? I'm interested in seeing one fully grown in captivity.

 

[SirKristoff]

yeah the pots they send em in are pretty crappy, but the plants i receive are always half dead it seems, my lowii was the only exception.

 

[Brokken]

Ditto, Capslock. I'd love to see what yours looks like.

Also, I would like to know what conditions you grow it under - since you're in San Francisco and I'm in relatively close San Jose: Are you able to grow yours outdoors?

[The Captain]
