Nope [emoji23] [emoji23]. Not even in America, hehe :P.
EDIT: It seems that Tapatalk cut my post till 13) but I can view everything perfectly using Google Chrome. Try using the web if my post mysteriously gets cut off at 13).
Well, I visited the shop again and it seems like they have not stocked up their plants. This was what I saw. Try guessing these plants! I have also took picture of the foliage for easier identification :)
1) Quite sure these are hookeriana.
2)
3)
4)
5) Only one half dead...
I am in the Northern Hemisphere, but I guess that won’t really matter since it is summer all year round. I guess I'll heed your advice for next time! Any idea on how many hours of sun this species need? I do know that it requires lesser amount than the upright species.
Thanks!
Anyway, so I guess the only way for it to go dormant is in the fridge. Most growers simply snip off every single pitcher to prevent mold but I know that Sarracenia Purpurea's pitchers can last for more than one season. How should I do it?
That makes sense now! I used to have a Sarracenia Flava and the amount of ants trapped was so much until it almost overflowed.
I guess I will have to get some live crickets then for my purpurea [emoji4]
I’m living in an apartment and the only way I can get 5 hours of sun is by hanging. So I doubt the mini method would work for me :/
Also, are Sarracenia Purpurea good in catching prey? I put my plant literally on an ant's nest and despite being swarmed, it only caught one or two ants.
Is this Sarracenia Purpurea ssp. Purpurea or Purpurea ssp. Venosa or Sarracenia Rosea? Any tips for this species of Sarracenia? Can I use osmocote for it?
As I am living in a tropical region, is it possible for me to let it undergo dormancy in the fridge?
I really didn't expect my local shop to sell so many kinds of Nepenthes. I thought they would all be Nepenthes Ventrata or something. [emoji23] But hey, at least now I know that there are more hybrids among these plants.
I thought I would share these picture with you so we can all enjoy them together :)
I recently got a lowii hybrid (suspected to be lowii x campanulata) from this nursery for only $14 usd. I went again recently and snapped a few photos.
Try IDing these plants if you can!
Nepenthes costs $14...
