    Tank size for N. merrilliana

    A local Nepenthes grower offered to help me build a lowland tank for my apartment. This was something I had planned on doing for a while, but until now I didn't have access to the tools I would need. I want to use the tank to grow several very large lowland Nepenthes, particularly N. merrilliana...

    female N. Anubis flowering

    My N. Anubis (spathulata (thorelii x densiflora)) is double-flowering. The first flower I'm pollinating with my N. maxima dark x talangensis just because it happens to be flowering at the same time. The second flower is still a few weeks away from developing and I figured I'd try another hybrid...

    LL truncata crosses in highland conditions?

    I just got some greenhouse space at work, so I've started to grow Nepenthes again after taking a break for the better part of the decade. A nursery I've gotten plants from before is offering two crosses I'm interested in growing, N. truncata x merrilliana "Caesar", and N. "thorellii" x (truncata...

    some questions on arrivals

    Edit: problems solved, see post below Hi all, I recently did an order and now I have some questions. I ordered six plants (5neps and 1 sarr psittacina). 2 of them arrived well but the other 4 were replaced by 6 replacement plants. Normally it's a good deal, but the sarr was a hybrid (unnamed)...

    Hello from Montana!

    My name is Devon and I'm a botanical enthusiast living in Montana. I'm fairly new to carnivorous plants. I've tried growing the before with little success, but now I've really committed myself to giving them everything they need and they seem to be responding well. I'm currently in possession...

    Nursery Pots: What Do You Use?

    I have decided I want to uniformly organize my Sarracenia collection since it is getting quite large and unruly in regards to pot uniformity. I feel like the growing process would be easier with either four-inch or five-inch square pots in large community trays; right now my plants are in...

    Only Moderately Temperate Sarrs: Your Thoughts

    So this is my first year--and first will be first winter--growing Sarracenia indigenous to the extreme southern portion of the genus's range. The plants I am thinking of in particular are of course S. psittacina, a few of its related hybrids, and S. rosea in addition to S. purpurea ssp. venosa...

    Looking for trades to expand a teaching CP collection

    Hi everyone! I would love to begin doing some plant trades in order to benefit my workplace and obtain a more complete and interesting collection of CPs. Because my teaching greenhouses aren't specifically specialized in CPs, there are significant holes in our collection and many genera are...

    Hybrid vigor and temperature tolerance

    I'm getting back into growing Nepenthes after taking a break for the better part of the decade. I'll be ordering my plants later in the week, and I've noticed that there is a much larger range of hybrids available, especially hybrids between highland species that were rare in cultivation until...

    Sanguinea!!!

    I feel like Nepenthes sanguinea is a beautiful and often underrated species. There's tons of variability when it comes to color in this species. I figured it's cool enough to deserve it's own thread. Sanguinea remains one of my favorites regardless of the fact that it was one of my first...

    Back from the Dead

    Somewhere between middle school and high school, I stopped growing plants. I had a filled 4-shelf growing rack and a 40gal terrarium, but somehow my collection just trickled away one by one as I lost interest to keep it going. Well, now I'm a sophomore in college, and I thought I would start...
