twigs Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Nice pictures. I love the N. macrophylla. What are your conditions? I have read that macrophylla requires ultra-highland conditions (or am I thinking of N. Villosa?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattler_mt Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 the macro is in 50-60% humidity and 60*F nights (15.5*C) and 75-80*F days(24-27*C) with 16 hour days and has been like that for about 13 months..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rattler_mt Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 ive had the flava a lil over a year aswell.....its from Wistuba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomislav1ster Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 And flava have the same conditions as macrophylla ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattler_mt Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 the macrophylla, flava, 'Preditor', izumae x TM, burbidgeae and merrilliana are all growing in a 76 liter(20 gallon) fish tank thats 80% covered with plexi-glass.... the TC raff, 'Black Dragon' and vanda orchid are on the shelf below the above listed plants and the seed grown raff is on a shelf basically on the same level as the first listed group.... all are grown in a sorta walk in greenhouse in my basement and everything is lit by 32 watt T8 fluorescent lights....

christerb Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Nice looking plants. BTW, how big is the seed grown raff? Lots of colors on the last pitcher. Like the tc plant too, nice tubby shape. Regards, Christer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattler_mt Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) not big.....maybe 3 or 4 maybe 5 cm not counting the tendrils and pitchers.......ive got another one from the same batch of seed that doesnt have a pitcher at the moment thats 3 times bigger and has bronze leaves....

christerb Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the reply. At that size I think it is even more impressive to see such intensive red color. I have some larger seedlings, some with red pitchers, but nothing like that one. I should also have mentioned your izumiae x trusmadiensis, looks promising. I have couple specimens of this cross, and I am really looking forward to seeing them develop. Not the quickest growing plant for me though.
