Pitcher of the Month February 2013

[mass]

haven't entered this girl since October of last year.. So think she's due.
female N. x Tiveyi 'Sarawak Red'

@mass.....can that be grown in lowland condition? i have gotten mixed answers on that question.

where did you get that one? I looked but couldn't find one but i am interested in getting one if it can thrive in my conditions:

temp
d 83
n 78
hum
d 80
n 85
light
10k lumens 2700k/6400k
2 fans to circulate air

I think it would grow just fine in any conditions. Nothing has really slowed this plant down in the least. Seems to grow faster on warmer days though.

@cpbobby: The problem is trying to get your hand on one of those. I don't think mass wants to give that up anytime soon, and I don't know anyone else on the forum who has one. Of course if you just want a normal x tiveyi than disregard everything.

 

[cpbobby]

^ i like that one.....i am fairly certain whimgrinder has one......oh no i wouldn't ask mass to part with it would probably be wasting my breath. lol.

@bobby: I have a clone sold to me by Jeremiah as simply N. Tiveyi "red", and I suspect this is a different cultivar from the Sarawak plant.

 

[mass]

I only know of 2 other people in the US with the female 'Sarawak Red' clone. Neither of which frequent TF anymore..
My plant makes nodes with every leaf. If any of them activate into a growth point, I'll let ya know Bobby.
May have to cut the main growth point to make that happen, and just not sure I'm up to that at this point in time.

N. reinwardtiana -- I'm curious how understated simplicity will fare.

 

[East_to_west]

That reinwardtiana gets my vote so far! I can't wait til' my seedling looks like that! I'm not sure if it's the red or green form yet. It's blushing a bit in the pitchers but I think its too early to tell. Everyones looks great but the simplistic design of the reinward is so classic in my opinion!
