Here is an update on the N. maxima, miniature form from Morowali in Central Sulawesi. This overgrown tray is from seed distributed back in 2007. They were sown in January of 2008. I was pleasantly surprised to find this plant among other seedlings ..... |

What's mini about it? Nice attractive pitchers. There will be someone in Japan looking for a variegated maxima.
Interesting color and form. Any info on the wild collected seed? It sort of has a hybrid appearance. Or maybe it's just me. Very vigorous for a "diminutive" species.

Hey Frankie,
I agree, it does look similar to 'Lake Poso', but they look a bit too robust... Not really sure if they could be a match at this point.
I'm thinking 'Lake Poso' is a selection from this same general, more wide spread kind of gracile N. maxima.

Dave,
Thats a very good point. The "mini" maxima is kinda like a grex, and "Lake Poso" is a like a select cultivar. Regardless Sams plants are beautiful!

The "mini maxima" tag has been put on several different expressions of maxima. It appears there are various populations of dwarf maxima, but it isn't known how they relate to each other. They may form a subspecies or a natural variety; or the individual populations might have developed the dwarf expressions each on their own; or even some combination to the two scenarios...

I guess this answers my question as to what the lowers look like on this mini form... Here is an upper from one of your plants, I received this one from a grower in Florida...  |

They don't seem to get much larger than 12" or so in diameter, produce a very gracile vine and flower relatively early. So far, the uppers have all been light green. I've had them flower at only about 18" in height but I have also had them produce vines of several feet.

Hi Sam, i think that about sums up my plant from you as well, vined early and is only 10-11" in diameter max.... it took ages to settle in though... like almost a year IIRC

Hello I grow plants from the same bath of seeds- have left around 5 of them. One have really great whole-red colour of both- leafs and pitchers, rest are quite similar with pitchers like that one:  First one flowered ~7 months ago in size:  rest is vining with longest vine having ~2 meters and still no flower. I have big problems with getting upers on them- mayby due to pure HL conditions in my growroom... Anyway- they were my first plats raised from seeds ever, and due to them i started to love seedgrowing of neps Greetings Witek |
