I wouldn't buy anything from ebay unless it was from a well known honest seller, there are PLENTY of places in the US to pick from with many variety's. I wouldn't waste my time buying seed when you can spend more and buy a SEED GROWN plant that you know what it looks like. More expensive but...

SWORDS you dog! Man here is a familar name! I'm sorry to hear about your father :(. I lost my grandpa in 2009, we were close so I know how that feels, my father took it pretty bad, but we heal everyday. I miss my neps the most but I dont have the time for them right at the moment. i will be...

Oh gosh no that growlist was last updated in 06 I think, I still have most of my sarracenia but really looking to get back this stuff, main reason I lost my stuff was because my mother had breast cancer and of course I had tunnel vision on her making it through it which she did with flying...

OMG its been a while! I've been so darned busy its not even funny, trying to make it in this world and enjoy life as much as I can. I got into a second hobby about 5 years ago collecting and restoring antique/vintage snowmobiles. I still have my CPs but have seriously downsized and mainly focus...

Can you get access to a better camera for a better photograph?

Looks like sooty mold which is usually harmless. You try wiping it off with a wet paper towel? Increase airflow to combat it if it is bothering you.

I would also cut the leaves in half to reduce water loss. Apparantly the root system was also damaged in addition to less than favorable conditions. Right now it is dessicated and needs all the moisture and warmth you can give it.

I second Orthenex, I've used it in the past with excellent results. Also may want to look into a fungicide, I agree with Tony, I see some other potential issues.

I really should do a re introductory post since my absence! I hate going off topic here against my mod duties :nono:

swords, whats up man, its been awhile huh?

Since you are in that situation just standby for another week or so and see what happens. Nepenthes seed can be funny! Sometimes they germinate overnight almost and other times weeks on end until germination.

Most likely LL truncata. Looking good, truncata is fairly slow species but given optimum conditions should move along nicely. Watch your moisture levels, don't want to be too wet now that they are growing, gradually start to wean them.

The thread has been reported, I personally don't take offense to it. If another mod does then it will be handled.

Thanks to everyone! I had a great b-day even though most of my friends have went back to college and the military. Oh well, bars are now free game! haha Tony, know any good ones down your way? haah

Hey Suzie! Whats up? Yeah the big 21 today, I'm getting older, but not so fast yet! haha! I've been so far out of contact here on terraforums, I feel bad, but I've been doing marvelous things! Like a new hobby! Vintage Snowmobiles, and it is a riot! I will never be out of CP's though...just so...
