    N. dyeriana vs n. mojito?

    From Google pictures, they are awfully similar. I've read that someone said that mojito is what has been called as "dyeriana". Another said it just "modernized" dyeriana, whatever thats mean. Any opinions on this from experts? I want to buy a dyeriana from friend but I'm not sure.

    Nepenthes is sick and possibly dying.

    So which one the latest picture? From first picture, there are sign of mineral burnt, probably from osmocote. From other pictures, either mineral burnt or old leaf dying, but accelerated by low humidity.

    Wrong potting mix for nepenthes??

    They'll fine, no need to worry and no need to repot them. Never heard its before, but its labeled as "carnivorous plant repotting mix" so at least its low minerals. And those 2 species are fine with wet mix. Some nepenthes species do need loose and drier mix, but not with those 2 and other...

    Longer lived Sundew

    I know, that why I said supposedly perrenial. Even carnivorousplants.org said that some spatulata variant has tendency to keep flowering themeselves to death. It make sense actually, at their native habitat, spatulata experiences hot & drought periods, thus whenever the conditions support them...

    Longer lived Sundew

    Drosera Capanesis, Paradoxa, Ptiolaris complex (and families), binata, filliformis (they have dormancy periods), tuberous drosera, they're all are long lived drosera. D. burmanii and indica families are annual. Even though we could extend their lives by heavy feeding, eventually they will...

    nepenthes species wanted+ advice needed

    Do not rely on weather broadcast. Check the temperature and humidity at your growing spot with thermometer and hygrometer. Look the one with high accuracy. Compare the average day temperature (not highest) and average night temperature (not lowest).

    In case of untimely demise, where are your plants going?

    Yes, most plants at botanical/conservatory gardens in sad states. It'll my last choices. The thing is not many people have large greenhouse to accommodate larger/older plants, especially highlander. Even lowlander like sumatrana need very high humidity, and I have a old giant one. I guess I'll...

    In case of untimely demise, where are your plants going?

    well, I actually put back some endangered pure species seedling in wild with government permission. Either in their original habitats to increase their population, or other designated area as their original habitats are not suitable anymore (for rice production, corn, vegetables, fruits, palm...

    No. You still need to pay cites/phyto cost at wistuba.

    nepenthes species wanted+ advice needed

    Whatever website that you were using to generate that temperature, most likely it's not temperature for that specific nepenthes. Probably it's general estimation based on altitudes RANGE. Also, anywhere at outdoor, night temperature are always lower than day temperature. At lowland, while lower...

    Did you read my previous comment ? Your night temps are above 20C for several months. Lowest night temps at winter at 8-10C for two month. You cannot grow highland, let alone ultra, without extensive cooling systems that work at high humidity conditions. Normal cooling method are not effective...

    nepenthes species wanted+ advice needed

    I just looked at Petah Tikva temperature data. Your lowest night temperature at 8-10C in January & February, and climb sharply in other month,especially in May to November, it's above 20C. An currently, your day temp around 30-35C, night temps at 22-24.I didn't bother to look at temperature, but...

    Yeah in winter. How about spring, summer and autumn? I saw your list, but it impossible for you to grow something like lamii, villosa and many other without actively cooled grow chamber or terrarium. And you will need thousands to build large cooled grow chamber and greenhouse.
