In my experiences it was just a slow and steady decline as it slowed growth and then eventually stopped all together.

The collection is looking great! Good to see you are still keeping the D. murfetii going. Mine unfortunately kicked the bucket. Love the U. reniformis setup, I might have to try something like that.

Good luck is all I have to say. I have tried growing this species on 3 separate occasions and it has proved to be one of the hardest plants for me to keep alive for longer than a year or two in my collection. Usually it grows just fine for about a year, and then it just slows down and dies...

Holy smokes that thing's a monster, love the setup

Interesting thread. I have had these thoughts exactly. I actually wrote up a brief "will" a few months ago just in case of this exact situation. Honestly if it happens, I would have a family member make a TF post and a few of you would have first dibs on many of the plants. There are a...

Hello everyone, My friend's large and healthy male N. ventricosa is finally flowering after 12 years. It is actually an original plant from terraforums.com's own flytrapshop.com. If anyone has a female Nepenthes of any kind in heat right now, and is interested in some pollen, please...

I don't have one tried and true method that I have used with nepenthes seeds, but it seems to me that I have had the most success with using terrariums or humidity domes for the seeds. Typically I will use live sphagnum moss and I cut it up with scissors to make it very fine so there's not as...

Hello all. Very excited to announce that we are planning a trip to Borneo in March. (despite corona virus :concern:) I know that at least some folks here have traveled to Borneo before. We have a very open itinerary at the moment with the only for sure activity being the climbing of Mt...

Sorry for the very delayed response. A great number of the seeds you sent me did indeed germinate. I think the ones you sent me were thorelii x campanulata and platychila x (something). I lost track of what exactly the genes were that you sent. Needless to say a ton of them sprouted and...
