That is beautiful but I like it once its reached its full potential. Something about that black peristome that i'm in love with.

Love this plant Paul! Hopefully the BE supplier here in Canada brings this one in on their next order.

No matter the acclimation time, this is one plant I need to find at some point. I like these red tones yours has now, but the fully mature blakc is hard to beat.

for me, this plant pitchered straight out of the bag. It didnt miss a pitcher and grew well. Until it started vining....
Its about a meter tall, but none of its tendrils want to develop. Its the exact same story with my inermis X singalana and they are right next to each other.

Beautiful pitcher Paul! For me this hybrid was quite easy, despite my lowland/intermediate conditions. Unfortunatelly I had to sell it because summer in Poland is very hot and I was afraid it won't make it. This plant was spectacular for me becasue it did the darkest pitchers I have ever seen. Almost totally black! Here are some photos if I may:   |

How big are mature rosettes?

I've had this plant for around six months and it's pitchered every month for me. I've never had any problems with it even though I'm the first to admit that I'm not a highly skilled grower! The only things I can think of that may be different about how I grow it is that I directly spray all my plants every morning and evening, (small collection so this is easy!) and that its getting very bright light, so much so that the leaves always have an orange tinge and die off fairly quickly. Whilst my plant is never going to be a show stopper as the pitchers increase in size veeery slowly and are only around 4 inches tall, it seems happy. Hope this can provide any insight!

Who did you get your plant from Paul?
Mine is TC for sure. and im pretty sure I know why mine stopped pitchering -
My plant is also in full sun and very high humidity
I actually really liked mine. now, the vine just needs some pitchers, Lol. and, mine grew really fast...I got it March 2011 as a BE medium sized plant and now its over 1m tall

Lol
The back sheet of plastic and half of the roof on my GH came loose in a storm (so they merely function as 'kind of' windbreakers now). so for about three months in summer - conditions were not as great and a few of my taller plants have stopped pitchering. some plants that stopped pitchering at that time are starting to pitcher now again - so im hoping the inermis X bongso and inermis X singalana will follow

Beautiful, as are all your plants/pictures!
Now if I could only get mine to pitcher. It is growing well, in fact the vine has grown over two feet since I got it, but so far no pitchers....
Thanks for sharing!!!

I think this must be a fussy cultivar, since several of us have reported having difficulty getting it to pitcher. I've engineered my grow space to be close to ideal for most highland/intermediates, and yet this plant has been stubborn and hesitant to pitcher. I've decided to just regard it as one of those types whose rare pitchers are to be appreciated when/if they happen. Here is the new pitcher today, as it starts to darken in color:  |
