If you like pitchers on your nepenthes I wouldn't recommend talangensis.

Which pitcher are we voting on? :)

This month is pretty crowded already, but my platychila just made its first upper:

Your albomarginata is perfect. I wish mine would get that purple.

Two Nova Extreme 30" right now. It's more light than I need, but I had them on hand.

It's too bad I prefer highlanders because lowland setups are a piece of cake. - waterproof enclosure - water reservoir below a platform the plants sit on - aquarium heater in the reservoir - sufficient lighting Voila, you have a nice steamy lowland tank.

1. J.Gennaro I've been looking for this hybrid! Thanks 2. SerMuncherIV - Good thing I adjusted my terrarium to get solid highland temps year round! Thanks! 3. AnIsleAteHer - Love the pitchers on this! Thank you. 4. NatchGreyes - Thanks! 5. WolframOmega - Great, just in time for my new highland...

Put a sheet of the yellow sticky insect paper in there. It won't kill the larvae right away (they spend about two weeks in that stage), but they'll all be dead soon enough.

The clear pots are AW, the black net pot is BE.

Wow. I hadn't heard about this and just did some reading on it. I'm convinced. Guess I'll be mentally calling it "ventriflora".

Oops. I had a complete brain fart when I wrote that. I was thinking of hybrids of trusmadiensis. Any time you see one, such as maxima xx trusmadiensis, you see the two "x"s. I'll edit the original post to eliminate confusion.

I'm concerned about nepenthes in particular, but I guess this question applies to all of horticulture. When I write about hybrids I'm never confident that I'm obeying the rules. Here are some of the variations I've seen. N. x ventrata The "x" indicates that this is a hybrid. I assume that this...

Another problem is that they have a "carnivore" section which is literally the size of a bedroom and it's not as well lit as other areas. I think they feel the need to put all their nepenthes in this one room where there's limited space and where they won't flourish. There are countless places...

No, it's natural. I forget what the name for it is. You'll see it on any weathered old Myrmecodia leaf. It freaked me out for a little while too.

I want to do this so bad. I just need to finally find a piece of limestone. And a pot. And a bunch of campanulatas that actually like me. Yours is perfect. Kudos.
