b9 question

Given time all VFT will form clumps of plants, but some clones do it more readily than others. 'Clumping cultivar' is a misnomer as there is no cultivar registered with this specific feature. I have a plant that quickly forms clumps (thanks Vic) that I refer to on my Grow List as a 'Clumping clone'

and what with the B9 form?

The B9 form is a small mutant from TC "developed" and distributed by Best Carnivorous Plants.

My guess is it's the closest thing you'll find to the "pygmy" form from Australia I believe it was that popped up some months ago. How small the B9 form is, I have no idea.

I got B9-Clone in cultivation since some months.

It is a remarkably small clone. I estimate the diameter of an adult plant to be around 3 to 4 cm (we'll see next year, I guess this clone to be adult end of next season).

This cultivar is by far the most difficult and very sensitive to low humidity. But it's worth the effort: a real pygmy!
