Sockhom Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) And there's an aerial rosette of N. pervillei on the left bottom..! This shows how skilled you are Siggi, if anyone still has doubt ;-) Thank you very much for sharing your cultivation tips. This is very helpful. By the way, to which species belong these elongated upper pitchers on the left? All the best, François.

Siggi_Hartmeyer Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hey Francois, thanks for your kind comment. Yes, one of the N. pervillei has 6 aerial rosettes and flowered last year for the first time since 1992 (male, grown from seeds). Here is a picture from today. The plant below is a dark red N. albomarginata (female, vines up to 4 m long, strongly branching) N. pervillei is always suffering during winter and starts now again to make new pitchers. The upper pitchers on the left belong to a very old N. rafflesiana, behind in the back are some pitchers of N. khasiana which is meanwhile more than 6 m long growing over the whole front side. Down on the right side grows a N. eymae x clipeata (hybridized by Mr. Debbert in Munich about 1990), above is a vine of N. mirabilis visible. Some more pictures of the collection are here: Pictures from our colection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siggi_Hartmeyer Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Due to our USA trip in spring and the following six months of editing our first HD-film "Sarracenia - Endangered Gems", as well as some "time eating" renovations at our house I've been off the forums for a while. However, here is a short upgrade to keep you informed on the cultivation progress. The N. attenboroughii kept looking like the above photos until about late May. With high temperatures up to 40°C in summer - different from the weather north of us, our upper Rhine-valley had a dry and warm summer - all pitchers of all plants dried, however, the leaves kept looking healthy but the growth slowed down extremely. In late September I lost suddenly two plants, which simply dried down, while the remaining ones did not produce any pitchers. Since late October, with cooler conditions the new growth appeared and meanwhile the first, still relatively small pitchers opened. One of them is here (sorry for the poor focus): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Sorry to hear that you lost two plants! But this pitcher of remaining one is just amazing!! I have never seen so beautiful and RED pitcher of attenboroughi neither in nature or cultivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepaholic Posted November 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 Here some of my fresh germinating seeds in TC. Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christerb Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Great to hear, Jens! I assume that these seeds are from a more recent collection, which would mean that there is a chance that they are not related with the ones that are currently in cultivation.

Siggi_Hartmeyer Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Here some of my fresh germinating seeds in TC. New clones in TC, that's wonderful Jens. I'm very curious whether the plants show the same variation in pitcher-shape like those of the first seed-collection. But I think that will need a while. I cross fingers that they thrive and prosper very fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Green Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Yep, looking good Jens and I'm also glad to hear more are entering cultivation. Now the hard part begins - keeping the slow buggers alive. Siggi - sorry to hear you've just lost a couple. That one you've showed though is looking very good - congratulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsten Schulz Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Hey Siggi. May you show us how your Nep has developed? Its almost a year gone :-) Regards, Carsten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepaholic Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 what i can tell is that the new seedbatch is growing much faster as the ones back in 2007. i have many in TC and hardening is very easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carsten Schulz Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Lucky you, Jens :-) Its really amazing how your seed(lings) have developed. They're just one year old, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bux Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 Hi all, I got mine from BE in April, it grows slowly, but seems not difficult. The substrate is pure living sphagnum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
