I don't think there is such a thing as 'typical' as they can express differing characteristics in differing growing conditions. Also, even seeds grown from the same plant can express different characteristics. I personally think this leads to the plethora of named clones but also why those clones may not express the same characteristics in other growing conditions. The so called dark clones are a classic example of requiring specific conditions.

@Harro, I'm pleased it is growing well for you. Carl

Bananito is a beautiful clone and in my opinion, worthy of cultivar status given its unusual pitcher shape. The dark colouration when grown in conditions conducive to such is definitely an added bonus to this cultivar.

A good recovery and very nicely grown

I would be interested to know if you still use fluorescent lighting. Many growers seem to have moved to LED lighting, so I was wondering if you have or have considered changing to them?

Very healthy looking Cephalotus

I suspect that you are the only one to have 'Bananito' in cultivation.

I believe that it is season dependent. Good colouration comes in cooler weather. Whether this is temperature, light colour temperature or other factor related, I'm not sure.

Stunning and worthy of any collection. I'm sure you will agree though, that it needs certain conditions to be met in order to achieve that colouration.

Looks very dry to me. I would stand it is a deep tray of water and mist the pitchers when the sun is down.

Some discussion regarding epigenetics in this thread:

Beautiful.

If I remember rightly, HugoMorse used to have lush live Sphagnum moss in his pots?
