    Unrooted cuttings of thorelii x aristolochiodes male and some other stuff for trade

    Ok, I was repotting my remaining nepenthes today and decided to cut my thorelii x aristo's long vine. I have a healthy basal so i dont really want to keep any of these. There were a few other things I wanted to get rid of as well. Im still looking for dews that are on my wantlist and cool...

    Uh Oh...

    Good afternoon y'all Lately, my new Nepenthes thorelli X TM "8 of clubs" has been showing some very disturbing signs which I immediately recognized. For those that do not know, a few months ago I moved my vent X TM into a cooler environment to grow faster. The plant didn't like the drastic...

    A Watched Pot...

    So I left school last Sunday for spring break, put a solid inch of water in a tray with all my neps, and prayed it would last the week. I returned home last night, just a bit of water is remaining, and my plants seems to have loved the neglect! An albomarginata threw out the first pitcher in my...

    How to repot a N. ventricosa with a long trunk, but also a basal?

    I'm worried about my N. ventricosa. It doesn't appear to be doing well. But it never does this time of year, I guess. Maybe because it's near the heater, even though it doesn't blow on it. I assume a repot would help. But I have a basal, too. I was thinking I'd have to pot the mama plant...

    Attempt at air layering

    So my nepethes ventricosa and miranda have their main basal growing completely sideways from being in the window and I was going to cut them off but I figured why not try to air layer them maybe I can trade them off or something instead of just throwing it away. Anyway here is my attempt. I...

    How to take a basal cutting?

    Last year I bought an N. "ventricosa - black peristome". I've been looking through some older posts and have realized this is not the plant I have but probably a hybrid of N. spathulata x ventricosa. I've been wanting a ventricosa because I hear they are easy and can grow as house plants. So I...

    Not something you like to see...

    Words couldn't describe my anger when I went to check on my plants at the Universty's greenhouse and found some one had helped themselves to my one foot(+) tall N. gracilis leaving me with just this little stub: Cut down to the woody portion, an inch above the media,(as if it were a...

    N. ventricosa, Alaskan windowsill Nepenthes: A Testamant to Endurance.

    This is the healthy and awesome Nepenthes ventricosa on the day that I received it from flytrapshop.com on May 30th, 2009. By December 2009, it was unable to adapt well enough to my rugged, cold and dim Alaskan window sill. The mites sink in.. I thought it might be the end. But it did...

    Decreasing leaf size

    N spectabilis has been growing like a weed for the past 6 months or so. The plant is still pretty small. About a month or so ago, I noticed that the growth rate was about the same but the size of the new leaves was rapidly decreasing, to the point that they were forming a 'cone' at the tip. The...

    4zeplant nursery in Malaysia

    Exams have just ended for me so I took the chance to visit my 'wholesale-distributor-for-BE-EP-nepenthes/private-nepenthes-grower/retailer-for-nepenthes' friend, Fauzi. He probably owns the largest collection of nepenthes in Malaysia (he has a nursery for god's sake! :-D) and I must say the...
