loligo1964 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Ok, so i just bought a n.truncata pasian and was wondering how big the pitchers get on this plant. Thanks I have seen pitchers which exceeded 48 cm in length; but it is common enough to have some hover around the 30 cm range for a while . . .

dchasselblad74 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) Cool...I have one too...And I cant wait to see mature pitchers....the striped peristome, is that a guarantee with the Pasian variety?

An D Smith Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Nice pitcher and plant Loligo, do you grow it is a highlander or a lowlander? (I have watched both of my so-called highland truncatas die in highland conditions) By the way, I have heard of and seen eye spots (like in reinwardtiana) on several different species, but what is that spot on the back of the peristome in your picture? A possible inadvertant use of the clone tool maybe? Sorry Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Andy I primarily grow the plant as a highlander, on my South-facing windowsill -- where it sees temperatures in the low teens during the winter. It has survived temps in the low single digits for a week at a time. The object in the photo was some leaf detritus that I didn't notice when the shot was taken . . .

Leo Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I grow Paisan (BE) and a lowland from in highland conditions.... This is the most recent pitcher on the lowland plant - about 45cm, forearm included for scale. For good growth they both seem to like nights around 15C - more intermediate than anything else.

Dicon Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) I would have to say they seem to prefer intermediate conditions, this was my plant last year Uploaded with ImageShack.us A 17 inch pitcher Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us I had a cool winter with occasional temps below 10c and I very nearly lost it completely. She is however starting to recover now. Edited August 26, 2010 by Dicon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
