Latest update: My photography is not so good, but he/she is still alive and getting some color to the pitchers.

PM'd. Thanks!

Thanks! I tried sending you a PM but it says: "DaFloof has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space."

How do we enter? How much would shipping be? I wonder if I have a place to put it...

Latest pitcher of my Nepenthes rafflesiana. Peristome is not quite fully developed.

Out of the ones that germinated, this seems to be the only survivor. It slowed down a little during the winter, but has picked up the pace now that it's warmer. This is the third, fourth and fifth pitcher leaves so far. I'm afraid to move it or change anything because it seems happy now.

That's an interesting point. My two adult plants corroborate it. Another thing I have noticed, most likely a coincidence with such a small sampling of specimens, is that the raffles with the thicker fluid has much thicker tendrils than the ones of the x miralata with the thinner fluid.

I read the Wikipedia entry for Nepenthes inermis, which has such viscous fluid that when rainwater fills the nearly unlidded upper pitchers, they tip over so the rainwater can spill out but the fluid stays intact. It got me thinking about my own plants' fluid. Just an informal observation...
