Nepenthes Veitchii Spotlight

Let's go through all of the Nepenthes veitchii in my collection and see why it is my favorite species. From lowland to highland, gold to stripes, there is so much to love about this incredible carnivorous plant!
Edit: the caption at 3:08 should read "Bareo BE-3734"
All plants featured in this video were purchased as small plants from the following US-based nurseries:

Amazing collection 😍

[@florabundance]

Thank you! My mind is blown on a daily basis watching them grow. They are such amazing plants!

[@一路噴]

GOOD Hope to take more pictures of this type of plants

[@florabundance]

Thank you!

[@oscarrox]

Fine specimens. I love veitchii, recently bought my first, BE3734 N.veitchii ‘Bareo Highland'. I'll be happy if it grows up to be as good as yours.

[@florabundance]

It's a great clone!

[@TheMortometer]

Thanks for showing off these beauties. Loved it.

[@davideickhoff2954]

Aloha. REALLY enjoyed this video! I am a species aficionado and love to see more. Mahalo!

[@florabundance]

Thank you!

[@inoyulo7537]

You should do ang update video about this:)

[@florabundance]

I do want to make an update, especially for the small ones at the end!

[@anthonynguyen9282]

So beautiful! Can't wait to see more!

[@florabundance]

More to come!

[@coledition]

These are beautiful!

[@florabundance]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@marceloch.c6193]

Nice colors the veitchiis are amazing

[@HerebutNot]

Nice vid. I like your transition style and descriptions of each plant. Looking forward to your updates on those seedling veitchii

[@florabundance]

Thank you! The second seedling from RedLeaf opened a new pitcher since filming and it's already got lots of stripes, even at an XS size. I'm hoping to give Candy Dreams a run for its money, lol

[@weirdboyrox]

Borneo Exotics also had a seed grown Veitchii BE-4068.

[@florabundance]

Interesting! I just looked that one up. It seems to be a very limited batch that was released. I’ll have to keep my eyes open for one to come available

[@weirdboyrox]

@Florabundance I posted it on youtube shorts if you're curious of what the plant look like. Also, the BE-3734 tend to be more light tolerant than the BE-4033. From personal experience the BE-3734 grows faster and can hold more pitchers than the BE-4033. BE-4033 leaves tend to turn red under the light than BE-3734. Both are growing beside each other with the same type of lights at a very similar distance. As for the BE-4068, the growth speed is in-between BE-3734 and BE-4033, the stripes aren't as bright as the BE-3734 yet.

[@kerrymitchell3982]

And here I am feeling like I don’t have enough when I have 65 😂😂😂😂

[@florabundance]

The only thing I don't have enough of is space, haha!

[@uriahlegutki2257]

Come on man share 😢

[@mwwilson64]

Nice collection! I have a couple BM × PCC's that are very slow growers. Bought as xs and they may be called small,and I've had them over a year! May repot and feed them more as you've written,wish me luck!

[@florabundance]

If I remember correctly, I originally bought mine as a medium, and they are pretty slow to size up. Once they have enough roots and leaf surface for photosynthesis, the jumps really start.

[@elijahperez9439]

Great video! Would love to see more!

[@florabundance]

Thanks! I've got some more ideas in the works :)

[@Brian-qn2mx]

I got a nepenthes veitchii from carnivero and the one I got is the bottom right one at 5:09 I can’t wait to see mine and yours as it matures

[@florabundance]

Nice! They should have tall peristomes and pitcher bodies could be a variety of colors

[@JoseGarcia-hk9se]

Hiii, i would like to see your K1 x M2, please. I have one and i don´t know what to expect really about this cross

[@florabundance]

It's still pretty small, but I would like to make an update video when they get a little bigger, stay tuned!

[@ElmoRitter]

I got a Burkei x Veitchii clone that I'm excited to see develop! Veitchii, Robcantleyi, and Hamata are my favorite. Yours look insane! I'd love a candy dreams hybrid someday, but I want to be more confident before a spend that much on a single plant lol

[@florabundance]

I have found most hybrids to be pretty easy going. Veitchii isn't really fussy for me either, just slow. Consistency is key with pretty much all Nepenthes Ive grown.

[@ElmoRitter]

@@florabundance ok cool. I just got a hamata x veitchii for christmas which was another on my dream list so hopefully I'll figure out to get veitchii hybrids looking good. They're so small now that I doubt I'll have an idea of what they look like for a while, but I can lok at yours till then lol

[@TheLostOne172]

I've just recently started to grow nepenthes after failure in past and one of the plants i ordered more than a month ago was a xs car-0001. Hoping to get a plant with stripes on it when its mature but i won't know for a few years. But so far its doing well and is on its way to producing its first juvenile pitcher under my care.

[@TheLostOne172]

Ok these things grow fast!

[@florabundance]

Good light, regular fertilizer and consistent growing conditions really help them gain size

[@user-uu1nw1bl9j]

yes more vids plz

[@florabundance]

Thank you!

[@oncidiumfoliage3662]

Can you do a growth update of the pinguicula?

[@Mercuriusveitchii]

At 5:44, in the bottom left hand corner of the tray farthest from the camera there’s a hybrid with red tinged leaves and deep red pitchers- what hybrid is it? Thanks in advance

[@florabundance]

Hello! I think the plant you are referring to is LVBxVMV

[@cristianpiccinno3241]

What is all in your substrate?

[@florabundance]

I use sphagnum moss, perlite, and coconut husk chips, roughly in equal parts

[@cristianpiccinno3241]

Thank you so much for answering😊

[@theelitistjerkmetalhead8047]

Those are some nice N. veichii specimens, but I personally never get more than one of each species.

[@florabundance]

That’s fair. With some species, there isn’t a whole lot of diversity, but with veitchii, there’s so much! It would be hard for me to only keep one

[@Bobby11083]

I do, there can be huge variability, especially among seed grown specimen.

[@theelitistjerkmetalhead8047]

@@Bobby11083 I may only have one veitchii, but I'm currently playing the phenotype lottery, myself... hehehe.

[@DeadlyPlants2024]

Is there a good fertilizer? I can use on my nepenthes through the winter. I’ve heard of using orchid fertilizer, Maxsea. or just anything in general that would boost the size of the pitchers?

[@florabundance]

I use Maxsea at a 1/4 strength, twice a month as a foliar feed. Higher fertilization rates can lead to stronger leaf growth, but at the expense of larger pitchers

[@DeadlyPlants2024]

@@florabundance would using fish pellets, be good enough for now? Just drop a few in the oldest pitchers every two weeks.?

[@coledition]

I loved this ! You have awesome Veitchii! Will you be making other species/hybrid spotlights?

[@jossue9120]

Im getting one or two Next year for sure

[@florabundance]

Awesome! They are slow, but steady growers. Not too demanding about conditions either

[@唐黎-j2n]

😍

[@florabundance]

😀

[@victormartell00]

Muy bonitas, es mi favorita también junto con clipeata

[@florabundance]

clipeata is also very nice!

[@맨유우승가자]

veitchii 4033 is so cute, 4033 is my favorite veitchii❤

[@E90PAT]

You just grow these in Indira in your room?

[@florabundance]

I grow them in a tent, but many can adjust to lower humidity

[@lectric]

Fantastic looking plants, I can only wish for mine to look as good as yours some day! A couple questions, whats your soil mix? I see sphagnum, orchid bark, perlite...anything else? As for the pots themselves, how are those pots with holes called? I've been trying to find them but all I find are net pots for hydroponics.

[@jigmekhesarnamgyelwangchuc9414]

I have one and it grows leaves, but there's never a pitcher body... Does anyone have any tips?

[@florabundance]

Your plant might want more light to make pitchers

[@jigmekhesarnamgyelwangchuc9414]

@@florabundance i put it right in front of a window a while ago, but it still is being difficult...

[@Supercazzola]

Any reason you went with orchid transparent pots versus a standard net pot ? Did you want light to get the roots ?

[@florabundance]

I like the additional air flow to the roots that the orchid pots allow. Once they grow out of the 6inch orchid pots, I plan to bump them to 6 or 8 inch black net bottom pots. I have noticed that algae sometimes grows on the moss that is exposed to light, but haven’t seen any negative effects on the plants.

[@StregaVarana]

Nepenthes veitchii is simply stunning, do you grow yours in highland conditions???

[@florabundance]

I grow them in intermediate conditions. 82F during the day and low 70's at night

[@cristianpiccinno3241]

Can you make one time a video about your setup wvere you keep them?

[@Mars-Jen]

Hello, are you interested in testing MarsHydro grow light? How can I contact you?

[@bostonicarus]

amazing! what is the humidity level you are keeping them ?

[@DeadlyPlants2024]

I just ordered a nepenthes Veitchii be 3734, I’m very excited! I grow my nepenthes in a grow tent with 80 % humidity. Should I still bag acclimate them? And slightly keep them out of my light? Also, I’ve noticed the peristomes are a bronze color. Every video I’ve watched of this plant, the peristomes have stripes. Will this plant eventually grow stripes?

[@Aknerfer]

Do you know if i could get any in Canada?

[@hellboy359]

Did you buy yours at XS or small sizes (Carnivero size)? Cuz I bought a bunch of XS and smalls from Carnivero and want to know if mine will be around the same sizes as yours given the time you live had them. It’ll give me a timeline ☺️ can’t wait!

[@florabundance]

Hi! I believe most were small and a few were xs. Good light, occasional fertilizing, and repotting will help them to size up

[@JoseGarcia-hk9se]

I reaaally would like to see an actuallization of this video

[@kerrymitchell3982]

Non striped ones are just as nice imo.

[@florabundance]

They really do add something special to the collection. But... if I could only have ONE veitchii (I know, torture, lol) it would probably be a squatty striped one :)

[@kerrymitchell3982]

@@florabundance yes my M giant x pink squat from EP would be it. It’s weird that a lot of people want the squat ones and my collection is mainly squat ones right now.

[@judithmatazamora4581]

Do you have a plant for sale and if so what is its price regards

[@shadowknight1611]

Love the Video, but it sounds a bit scripted ❤😂

[@florabundance]

It's totally scripted, lol. There are so many fans and other noises in the background so it's hard to do a single take.
