Finally! Hopefully, if passed, it will discourage poaching even more... I love to see stuff like this happening! Personally, I'd be fine with introducing standard SEED-GROWN plants derived from a diverse genetic line, so that you'd help increase diversity, but not flood it with clones or...

Hello there! Could you clear some of your PM's so I can PM you the tracking number for our trade?

They are pretty cool looking. I'd probably keep them if I had enough space to. They are really beautiful insects.

I just wanted to ask how did you guys get into CP's? For me, I came across a picture of some Nepenthes raffelsiana while researching for a project 5 years ago. I then HAD to try to grow some... So, I read up some on CP's, and decided to grow some. After getting a Drosera spatulata, Nepenthes...

I'm gonna do another hatch. I just need to get some more yeast to feed the nauplii...

For me it would probably be (macrophylla x bellii) x (villosa x bellii) to try to produce a smaller, toothy plant that would tolerate intermediate conditions...

They only look a little beat up as of today. I think the key to this was doing the entire process in less than 5 minutes, and being gentle. All the pots were partially filled before taking the divisions and I put them in plastic bags as soon as each one was potted. The humidity in the bags has...

I don't know what I will do with all of them. I'll probably try to use some for trades eventually, and I'm also going to try to promote flowering by giving them a seasonal photoperiod. I'd like to be able to do a seed or cutting giveaway of these eventually.

Congrats! Hope to see some pictures when they get bigger...

I did put all the pitchers that fell off in the pots of my Nepenthes ventricosa. I think they should like the moist LFS.

Wow! This makes me want to try hybridizing sundews.. The tokaiensis X 'Tamiln' looks like an excellent cross. My only question is how do you manage to catch the flowers open Whenever I have sundews bloom, I never get to see them open, only closed...

So around 3 years ago, I got a little Cephalotus for my birthday. It was around 2" in diameter, and only had little tiny baby pitchers. I kept it under a constant 16ON/8OFF lighting cycle, 4" under a single T8 bulb, at 60-80% humidity and temperatures between 68 and 72, with no change in...

OK, I've got the pics on photobucket. Here they are: Drosera peltata: You need to tilt your head a bit for this one. Drosera capensis: Focus on the bottom part of thie image first. The alignment was not very good, and the leaf bends toward you. If you get yourself oriented on the bottom...
