I wonder if anyone had any with hairs under its lids? I do have exudates developing under mine though.

Hi M,
looks lovely!
I just wanted to ask about the size of your plants?
Mine are only 10-15cm across, and already the plant is telling me it wants to go uppers.
It has been growing very fast since I got it, and pitcher size increase from small 1.5cm to about 5cm, then all of a sudden they get smaller, distorted, and lose their wings.
I'm thinking its the effect of SIngapore's 'Summer' ongoing presently...
thanks
Lam

I wonder if anyone had any with hairs under its lids? I do have exudates developing under mine though. M Interesting question. Every F1 hybrid with N. lowii I've seen does have these hairs, but they tend to only develop on the larger lower pitchers, intermediates and uppers. I haven't seen or noticed them on the baby pitchers. N. campanulata lids produce a lot of nectar, I've had lids which actually start filling the pitchers with nectar like a salivating Saint Bernard. If anything, the hybrid should produce a lot a material/nectar on the lower lid surface. BTW, and unexpectedly, this is the only N. campanulata hybrid I've seen which I think has horticultural merit. |

update: Just moved this plant from a six inch basket to a larger mesh pot. I will show photos of this as it increases in size matching its new root space.

Hi, here's a pic of my lowii x camp.  think it can be quite clearly seen from the pic that its having a bit of stress with the high temps - small pitcher in relation to leaf size. Do you think its trying to go into uppers? thanks |

I do believe this plant can take a lot of heat. I was worried about it when my conditions went from rainy wet to summer dry, but this plant has turned out leathery leaves and pitchers hard as nails. I recently moved it up to a larger mesh pot exposed to even brighter conditions. I'll post some shots after it makes more new growth in this new environment.
Nice plant, the moss tells me that this plant is more shaded. I think this plant likes a lot of light to grow well.

Like many N. lowii hybrids they begin slow but will usually take off after becoming established.

Just wondering, how large do the lowii x campanulata pitchers go?

Cindy-
If you check EP's website, they have a couple photos of larger plants up. Seems the pitchers keep getting more interesting with age!
