Well, in the franophone language it would be N. x "ile de francais". Since I take and speak French thats how I call it, but in English it is N. x ile de france
Nice stuff there Dustin!
How big is your giant rafflesiana pitchers?
The lids won't sag so much of you keep the pot moist. I have the BE-99 clone and the tall neck starts to sag if it's been more than a few days since I've watered it. I even started keeping mine on a tray (with about 1/4" of water in the bottom) and letting the tray dry up for a few days before I water again, this seemed to halt the folding necks/lids, now they are wide open! Mine is about 28" diameter with 7" pitchers but still planted in a 6" azalea pot...
Hi, the N. rafflesiana is in a hanging pot Josh, so I don't think its very practical for it to be on the tray system lol. The lids tend to sag even if it is wet, must be a trait of this plant. Mike Catalani's big stock plant did the same thing and it was practically in muck (just alot of peat I guess). As for the size of it,the Singaporean Giant is around 24inches in diameter (60cm) with 7inch tall pitchers (20cm)
