    N. sanguinea (FBImurders $20)

    Up for auction is this Nepenthes sanguinea. A recent basal division with roots. The plant is about 6" across and pitchering very well. I recommend this plant to those just getting into Nepenthes as it is both attractive and tough. I can grow it in a windowsill in NM with no additional care and...

    Lowii x boschiana

    Figured that I would post a few pics of a new pitcher. This plant had an odd sudden die back and was left with a tiny basal about three years ago. Now it is settled in nicely and I can't wait for it to reach uppers as the pitchers are gaining more hairs under the lid and the mouth is starting to...

    N. spectabilis "giant" x ventricosa

    This may be a longshot, but I have a large N spectabilis "giant" x ventricosa that is near flowering size and looks to be close to the vining stage, and I am interested in a N. hamata. I have had the plant for a little over a year starting off from a small cutting. It consistently produces...

    How to rejuvenate an aging Nepenthes?

    Around 15 years ago, probably, I gave my mom a rooted cutting of a seedling plant of Nepenthes burkei x truncata (purchased in 1995 as a seedling from Tom Kahl). The plant grew and pitchered beautifully in my mom's kitchen window for years--a North-facing window in the SF Bay Area. The...

    Winter garden work

    Well, the plants seem finally settled in for the 'winter' here in San Diego, and it's even been 60F by day/40F by night the past few days. Usually the coldest week of the year is the one between Christmas and New Years. With it brings tidying up the plants, and thinking about spring. I've...

    Tuberous Drosera

    After speaking with several members here among other growers, I have realized that there are more misconceptions about successfully growing these plants than I had thought. I wrote the care sheet below last year for the NECPS members to use as a guide for their cultivation and I hope that it can...

    Trade: Nepenthes for Cephalotus!

    Hi, I have two nepenthes that I would like to trade for cephalotus pullings (or, if you are willing, rooted plants) of varieties other than Hummer's Giant and typical. They can be fresh, or newly rooted. The first I have to offer is a N. Ampullaria Williams Red x Harlequin. It looks a little...

    Budding Basal

    Repotted one of my nepenthes and saw this a little above the root system Is this a basal bud, and if so, should I expect the plant to have slowed growth or any other such symptoms that can be mistaken for disease? Or is it just a newly developing large root?

    I have a cut basal of lowii x boschiana starting to send out roots, a nep Caesar, and typical cephs with adult pitchers up for trade. I would like to hold onto the cephs till they get larger.

    From basal or from tissue?

    This N. Ventricosa 'Red' arrived bare root last week. It is potted in a 4 inch diameter pot. I forgot to take a picture of the roots, but can someone discern whether it came from a basal or was grown from tissue? There are 4 growth points. Also, when would I be able to make divisions?
