    Pot Size & Plant Growth?

    A few of my neps that are 6-8" across are in 4" pots... I have one vine that has to be at least 2ft long with a massive basal and it is in a 4" pot, but still growing like a weed. Is there a general rule for upping pot size? I would just take the plant with medium attached and stick it in a...

    General question

    Well, as the seasons begin to change, I am noticing that the window I moved my Miranda into isn't getting as much light as it did when I moved him there. And as such I have noticed a big slow down in growth on the plant that didn't flower( the one that did it blocking some extra light from the...

    Have neps to trade for VFTs

    I have several neps to get rid of. I'd like to trade for some VFTs, preferably large trap varieties. (I don't think this is against the rules because flytrapshop does not sell that variety, but if it is someone let me know). What I have: N. sanguinea - one large plant that has one basal and...

    Daddy, where do basals come from?

    Okay guys, I have had plenty of neps with basals. I have cut them, traded them, rooted them etc. but I never wondered how they formed. Well a few weeks ago I was having an issue with a N. mirabilis and decided to unpot it to check the roots. I counted five small green sprouts (for lack of a...

    Fingers crossed for my N. villosa!

    Finally decided to bite the bullet and repot my big old N. villosa! Its been in its old compost too long and also got jammed in its home in the greenhouse. I should have done it a few years back as the leaves are looking more stressed than I like and pitchering as been few and far between these...

    nepenthes bical basal shoot or invader plant?

    in the photo just under the pitcher there seems to be a little sprout.....i didn't think the bicals did basal shoots or at least never heard of it. But how did an invasive seed make it inside a 90% sealed terrarium?

    SG Ventricosa basal

    So I like this plant, but seeing as it's a basal from my bigger mamma (or pappa I guess) plant, and I'm running out of room, I'll post it here for trade. Pitchers are nicely sized and colorful. Drools excessively. Has been growing on my windowsill since it's existence haha. W/e you guys know...

    Striped delights

    An opening pitcher from this N. veitchii seedling, 25 months out from seed. Upon arrival, i first thought this next plant was a basal from my N. veitchii HL x eymae, but upon further inspection, i found it had its own root system and wasn't attached to the other plant. As it turns out it...

    Available for trade: one N. maxima "Poi Dog" female rooted cutting for trade. This is a well established cutting from a vining (upper) section of the plant and has begun pitchering on its own.
