    Trade

    N. Ampullaria whole plant about foot wide. I have nursed this plant from a little baby but it just doesnt pitcher for me with my cold temps. N. sibuyanensis x (spectabilis x aristolochioides) I have had this plant for a about two years. It has two growth points. Each growth point is of same...

    Substrate Question

    In March, I moved my N. ampullaria to a bigger pot and used substrate I mixed up. It turns out I didn't buy the proper ingredients, so I ended up using large orchid bark chunks, sphagnum moss, perlite, and tropical potting mix. He doesn't seem to dislike the substrate. I am concerned about the...

    Hcarlton's Nep Pics

    Not often that I post pics on the forums, so I thought I'd add in a few things: Everyone's probably seen my N. rafflesiana in the POTM thread, so I'll start with N. ampullaria 'Harlequin' Followed by N. spectabilis "giant" And an 8 1/2" pitcher from N. 'Miranda'. I know it doesn't measure up...

    Wanting to trade highland Nepenthes for lowlanders.

    I've decided to trade away a few of my highlanders before the warmer weather begins to arrive. I've got 4 N. singalana seedlings, a very young N. x 'Black Knight', and an N. glabrata that I just recently purchased. I'm specifically looking for lowlanders that would do well in a terrarium. The...

    My tropical terrarium and windowsill plants.

    Here are a few pictures of my terrarium. It currently houses the following: N. alata, ampullaria 'Harlequin', 'Black Knight', sanguinea, singalana, ventricosa, ventricosa x N. spathulata, D. binata "multifida extrema", and D. tokaiensis. Some kind of strange moss growing in my N. 'Black...

    Should I reconsider growing N. glabrata.

    So I ended up buying an N. glabrata on some bad research on my part. I heard it makes a good terrarium plant because of its size but after doing a thorough google search of message board discussions, it seems like a lot of people have a hard time with this plant. My terrarium is a 29 gallon tank...

    N. ampullaria Appreciation Thread!

So share pictures of your plants species and hybrids involving amps! Here are a few of mine, taken with my new camera! Even seedlings are freaking awesome...

    Unhappy N. ampullaria

    My N. ampullaria has been pouty for several months now, probably since fall. Some of its pitchers fail to form, while others get a brown discolouration. For some reason, its new pitchers aren't turning a nice green (they just stay a sickly green, and somewhat transparent). Some of the pitchers...

    Lowland nepenthes terrarium question

    For a while I used a 10-gallon tank with water (distilled) at the bottom and an aquarium heater for my Ampullaria and Bicalcarata. The plants were perched atop upside-down flower pots; they're quite young so this setup worked. Recently, however, I acquired a great many more adelae (which also...

    Nepenthes ampullaria 'Red' Seedlings

    Seeds purchased from Malaysia on 09-01-2012, planted on 10-19-2012 and germinated on 12-27-2012. Patience is key with these plants as it has taken 5 months for the seedlings to reach this stage. This little cluster of three would easily be hidden under a nickel. It's fun watching each pitcher...

    Want Ampullaria!

    Hey all! The first nepenthes I ever bought was an ampullaria from a website that often gets bad reviews on this forum and other, and is as I feared, on the decline. It was very unhealthy when it arrived as a teeny little plant and its one leaf has gone nowhere in the few months its been in my...

    Pygmy poll

    Kind of curious. What humidity/light intensity/temperature do you keep your pygmies at? I'm specifically dealing with Roseanna right now. I'm having pretty good luck, but am always interested in adjusting what I've got going on if better ideas surface. At the moment they are experiencing...
