Robert,
Nice reinwardtiana you got there. I got a small plant from MT - reinwardtiana var. samarindaensis. Do you know what colour is the pitcher? Over at MT website, it showed reddish green.

It may turn reddish if exposed to light.The green reinward., is all plain green even under more light.

Hi Robert,
Like your xcoccenia. Looks more elongated than mine and it still have that nice green speckle pattern under direct sun.
Nice red pitchers your reinwardtiana has there. Really nice when contrasted with the yellow peristome.
Would you have a picture of a red ampullaria or green with red speckle ampullaria under direct sun. I'm curious to know how they look and how well they grow under direct sun.
Or anyone has pictures of their ampullaria under direct sun.

Hi this is what i have,slightly different in the red,more like maroon.  the red form just under slight shade grown in the open.Notice the peristome don't bear the red colour as a result.  also posting here the green pitcher with brown peristome.  |

Robert,
I have two pots of ampullaria which I placed them in the open. They receive morning sun. But they rarely pitcher. How do you get them to produce lots of basal pitchers?

Hi David, Red amp., prefered some cool shade ( as in most cases i came across in the wild ). Placing some potted plant with thick foliages near red amp. and other neps as shade is one good way to mimic their natural conds. Green amp and the red spots variety showed the same coloration either in shade or open space. I provide nursery shade #60% slightly above 8ft , to prevent direct mid-day sun - to prevent leaves burn/browning. To post an example. Green amp with red spots shaded by wild fern.This one was growing on a slope, earth were very loose  |

Robert... Each time you post these jaw dropping pictures of your neps and those in the wild, you make wanna shift to Sarawak. Perhaps if it were not for some commitments and family, you'll see me there tomorrow. ;D
That second last picture is really jaw dropping. I think there's about 3 layers of pitchers stack on top of each other from the ground.

Indeed there are 3 layers staking on top of each. Such growth are not uncommon in the wild. There are some that make basals carpet few feet apart, wait till i come across them.
we drool too,jaw wide open when we come across such growth esp.red ampullaria ;D

Robert, the last picture showed the amp growing in quite an open area. Just that one fern and plant shading it from the sun. Does it get direct sun sometime in the day when the sun shift?
Just wondering if those you see growing in a more shaded place have that much basel pitchers? Do you think the level of sunlight also determines the amount of basel shoots.

hi David, it gets direct sun from 8.00 am to about 3.00pm where the slope behind shielded it from getting more direct light. still it is bright and warm despite the sun angle and the sligh shade provided by the ferns.
In dense shade under the forest canopy the same basals and pitchers growth were also observed.This is amp's specialy regardless of their environment.
