School is fast approaching, ushering in my typical forum absence. I don't often post pictures of my outdoor collection, but taking pictures is a good way to pay some attention to them. Most of these plants are thanks to the generosity of fellow TFers. :hail:

I've had my Nepenthes grow tent up for a couple weeks, and I have been recording the day/night temperature to get a feel for what conditions I get with no supplemental heating/cooling. I've been recording the min/max temps for each day, as well as the % humidity (I addressed this in another...
Hello all!
Recently I've been selling and occasionally giving away seedling N. rafflesiana (and I still have a couple hundred growing up too!). I decided to post pics of some of the ones I've decided to keep, to show the variation from one batch. These plants are N. rafflesiana "dark brown...
A couple weeks ago I set up a large (2.5ft wide x 5ft long x 7.5ft tall) grow tent in my apartment for lowland Nepenthes and picked up my exotica plants preorder (~20 plants) from a local nursery here in the northeast. I use an 8-tub, 4ft. long T5 HO fixture, and my light levels and temperature...

Pictures and Questions, that is!
Learned a few new things in a thread started by Jimscott, so I decided to make a new thread to show some pictures, and ask some questions. At any rate, I offered seeds from a plant that probably won't produce any viable seeds :blush: (not knowing any better -...

In recent years my hobbies have been focused around living wall set ups & growing orchids indoors. About a year ago I acquired two N. alata that were very patient with me while I figured out their care. Then I recently started looking into pings when I developed a gnat problem in my orchid...
Hey Guys! I don't post very often, but have enjoyed reading what everyone has learned about cps through the forums.
As Dragoness has just demonstrated...sarracenia can be pretty tough. Many other forum members here have also shown off their bogs in areas normally too cold for most cps (which I'd...
Nepenthes chaniana is one of my favorite species. After two years of trial and error, my Malesiana clone is finally looking presentable.
Last pitcher -- unfortunately, they discolor at the base after feeding
Finally a good-sized rosette
N. chaniana x veitchii -- got this one a while back...
Almost all of my indoor carnivores live in a tropical terrarium in my reptile room. The only exception is my N. alata, who is a lot more tolerant of general household conditions (fluctuating temps and humidity) than my other carnivores.
The terrarium. Husband made the custom hood for it, with...
Last year, I decided to buy a Rubbermaid style plastic tote, sink it in the ground, and put Sarracenias and VFT's in it. It worked great, but looked a little too redneck... for my tastes anyways. Come fall, I trimmed off the taller pitchers, and put the lid on the tote, and buried it under a...
My Sarracenia Alata flower has been open for several days, but I haven't seen a single insect come near it. Does anybody know what type of insects pollinate them or what time of day I should be looking for them? I'm hoping to get a picture.
Today's weather is partly cloudy with temperatures...
This has been a tough year for my outdoor plants. First of all, I ordered this batch of plants from Mike Wang, who grows them in CA outdoors where they experienced a short, mild Winter and an early Spring. When I got the plants in February, most of them had begun Spring growth already and many...
Hello everyone. I've been lurking for a while, but this is my first post; tell me if I'm doing anything wrong!
I have one of those typical garden centre neps. It was labeled as alata, but as far as I understand that is often not accurate. When I do a google image search, I see plants that look a...
I have a s. alata that I bought recently up for trade. I got a double order so would like to swap it out for some extra variety. PM me with what you have and we can talk
