HAPPY FATHER's Day to all the dads.
Look what I got ...... a 1 kg Cadbury bar.
My favourite - N. eymae. Nothing spectacular. But when I got this plant 5 years ago from wistuba, it was a puny weak 2 inch plant. It is the only survivor from my order from Wistuba. It now has 6 pitchers, with the largest 7cm long.
Flowering N. adrianii enjoying a good view
Close-up of N. adrianii (10cm)
The sanguinea twins (11cm)
N. tobaica is really under rated. I only got this plant in February form MT and it has given me 6 pitchers. The pitcher start as red, then to burgundy and end up purple black.
The largest tobaica pitcher - 7cm
Also doing very well is N. fusca Sarawak from Fauzi/BE (Aug 2007)
Another plant from Fauzi/BE - N. mira (Feb 2008)
N. gracilima (?)
N. ramispina - nice healthy leaves
Finally, my highlanders setup. Plants are placed on 4-tiers chromed racks mounted on wheels. Direct morning sun from 8:00 am - 12 noon and bright filtered lights till about 19:00. Supplemented with 4 super T5 lights (aquarium - 2 blues and 2 whites). A samsung humidifier provides humidity between 90% - 70%. A small clip-on fan to provide air circulation. Sitting on the lowest rack is a customed made acrylic tray to collect water droppings. By mounting the racks on wheels, I can push the plants into my bed room at night to let them enjoy temperature drop of 18°C.
So far all the highlanders and intermediates are doing very well with nice healthy leaves. N. lowii is pitchering soon. The problem is what am i going to do when they grow up!!!!
