Nepenthes izumiae x trusmadiensis and Friends!

Nepenthes izumiae x trusmadiensis

Yes! My Nepenthes izumiae x trusmadiensis has pitchered! It's the first pitcher I've seen on this plant, which I recently won in the Terraforums' NASC Auction. I really love the look and shape of this plant's pitchers and I'm happy that it's doing so well in my conditions.

Nepenthes talangensis x sibuyanensis

One of the best performing plants in my highland tank this winter was my Nepenthes talangensis x sibuyanensis. The high humidity of the tank in combination with the cool winter has caused this plant to produce pitchers on every leaf that it has put out since it entered my care.

And I do mean every leaf! Just look at this plant! Quite spectacular considering how hard it is to get Nepenthes sibuyanensis to pitcher, according to those who have grown it. I'm quite happy that this hybrid is much easier.

Nepenthes spectabilis x aristolochioides

Ah, the finest of the aristo hybrids (in my opinion), Nepenthes spectabilis x aristolochioides. The cold winter helped this plant recover from the death of its growth point brought on my too hot temperatures last summer. (This summer I have a plan to prevent such heat damage).

My Nepenthes spectabilis x aristolochioides is doing quite well, and I hope that it will continue to do well throughout the summer. The only challenge will be to keep it cool enough in the night. Unfortunately, that's a bit hard to do during heatwaves.
