    N. maxima 'Lake Poso'

    :-O Very nice Cindy! It didn't much like the heatwave though did it? It's clearly made a full recovery since then though. I do find it amazing the range of species you can grow in Singapore without resorting to a lot of expensive equipment.

    New Borneo Exotics Newsletter

    I hope the mods don't mind this, as I've always tried to avoid making posts that can be construed as commercial but this one is probably borderline: Some of you will know that BE releases up to 12 new Nepenthes items per month, either new hybrids, or cultivars, or sometimes new species. We try...

    Show off your new ventricosa X hamata hybrids!

    Noted that folks might like to see more pics of mature plants - no doubt very true. There is a photo resource we started a few months back under the 'Catalogue' tab on the BE website and we shall be adding a lot of new photos over the next 2 weeks. If anyone wants to know when this is updated...

    Show off your new ventricosa X hamata hybrids!

    I was going post this as a separate thread and then noticed that a thread already exisited for this hybrid. Maybe this isn't uncommon for some growers to see but our nurseries are (supposed to be) insect proofed so this really is an oddity for us. It never ceases to amaze me how a species of...

    Water PH

    You shouldn't need to adjust RO water I wouldn't think. There will be so little impurities in it, that whatever the pH seems to be, it will be so poorly buffered as to swing dramatically when it comes into contact with just a tiny amount of acid or base. We at BE use ground water which starts...

    Nepenthes x 'Helen', new from BE

    The fertilizer they use might suit you Tony. It's 10:11:18 + 2 MgO + 4 Rogaine :grin:

    Nepenthes x 'Helen', new from BE

    Aw, and I was hoping folks would think that was a BE nursery :drool: That shot was taken in approximately the middle of the greenhouse - more impressive from one end - and they are all carnivorous plants. One nursery we visited (not carnivorous plants) puts out millions of plants per year with...

    Nepenthes x 'Helen', new from BE

    Hi Folks, Firstly, Whimgrinder (nice name!) you can breathe easy. Contrary to what I had told Tony, when I went back through our correspondence I found we had released just a very few of the 'Helen' cultivar to the Distributor you bought your plant from so his honesty is not in question. In...

    Borneo Exotics Photo Resource Updated

    Hi Folks, We've recently updated a large new resource of all original photos to the BE website which is linked from the 'Catalogue' tab of our homepage at http://www.borneoexotics.com (thanks carnivour for pointing this out on anither thread) :-) The idea is to help people to find out what...

    N. ampullaria x talangensis

    Hello, I've just seen this thread for the first time - thanks Cindy. When Tony first mentioned to me that the seedlings looked like pure amp I immediately removed it from our pricelist and checked out the seedlings, which were still very small. I saw some differences in the shape of the...

    Check Out This Bad Boy

    No problem Bella. There's quite a bit of misinformation circulating around as "facts" from time-to-time. It's not malicious - well, not often - but thought I'd better chime in on this one. Andreas does his thing and we do ours. The fact that we have different clones is good and makes it more...

    Check Out This Bad Boy

    Hello, To set the record straight: Sorry to have to contradict you but I'm afraid not such "good authority" as it happens, since none of Borneo Exotics' stock offered for sale is, or ever has been, sourced from Wistuba - or any other commercial provider of Nepenthes. Tony is correct in...

    *PLANTS STOLEN* Help find the thief.

    Tony, we've been out of touch for a while and I'm so sad about this. Whoever did it will probably be reading these posts to stoke their pathetic ego. Assuming they can grow the plants and don't kill them, they will be caught eventually for sure. There are ways. I will PM you about this. I would...

    Hamata Availability

    :0o: Oooh! Oooh! Jeremiah! Is that specimen seed-grown or from some rubbish TC clone? :jester: Serously though, that's a great example of how much more attractive Neps are when they have multiple growing points and are not allowed to vine. Did you prune it at some stage or did it produce...
