Red Lowii's plants

[Red Lowii]

Hi Mass, I'm growing out of sydney, outdoors all year round, with a makeshift greenhouse for 3 months during winter months.
I'm getting roughly 50-60% humidity during day and around 70% during night.

OMG Redlowii...your plants are amazing. Truly showing that no matter what size...neps truly need to be grown in a greenhouse/outside to reach their full potential. Amazing plants...perfect specimens really. The envy of any collection. Great job.<textarea id="adlesse_unifier_magic_element_id" style="display: none;"></textarea>

Thanks Vraev, big compliment coming from you, I followed your flickr regularly when I started out collecting, was really sorry to see what occurred to your collection, I hope you've started rebuilding.

 

[Red Lowii]

Looking promising...

The lid/upper peristome has been arching back on the last few pitchers, it's almost vertically parallel with the pitcher body, has anyone else had this happen to their N. truncata x ephippiata?

some juvenile potential

N. mira seems to generally dominate other species in hybrids

The basal bunch

Love the basal bunch!

great as usual,and proof that really high humidity is not a must,but i agree with vraev that sunshine seems to be to get really great plants

Thanks Victoria & corky,

I actually think artificial lighting is even better than natural. Its not currently practical in my case, but if i could i would use additional lighting to bring out more of the color in the pitchers. Some examples...

you humble me Sir. Glad I have been any amount of inspiration for you. I haven't really re-built it... and not planning on a serious collection yet. I just have a small exoterra where I am trying to get some plants going that I have left from my past collection. Once I settle, then I will probably re-start with a greenhouse. &#55357;&#56842;

I see what you mean,they are well baked.Dunno if i could afford to run lights so powerful,think the street lights would dim when i turned them on

Speaking of....amazing isn't it hehe, seems to have taken up quite a bit from truncata, especially the leaves
