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...
Hey all,
Over the past year or so I've been going all out trying to create a bunch of new hybrids, and I finally have the first one flowering: D. capillaris "Long Arm" x spatulata 'Tamlin':
young plant
adult
The first flower just opened this morning, and though it leans toward the dark pink...
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...

It's that time of year again.
I'm looking for any Pygmy Drosera I don't grow. I lost my Drosera gibsonii colony this year and would love to get a replacement.
My current grow list.
Drosera allantostigma
Drosera callistos
Drosera callistos -Brookton form
Drosera citrina
Drosera closterostigma...
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...
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)...
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...
I have 8 reflectors measuring 22" long X 4" deep X 2" tall, these are approx. measurements as they are old used reflectors and may be slightly bent at one end or the other.
1 reflector measuring 17" long X 2.75" deep X 1.5" tall, approx. measurements, old reflector...blah blah.
1 24" all glass...
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...
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...
Hey y'all, I'm looking for N. Viking (Mirabilis var. globosa) species and hybrids. I'd be most interested in Viking x amp (red) but I'd definitely consider anything else. I'm also looking for:
* Always looking for clones/plants of tentaculata ***
* ampullaria
* eymae
* glabrata
* gymnamphora
*...
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...
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...
Howdy all! This thread is where I will be hosting a bunch of giveaways of freshly harvested hybrid Nepenthes seeds from the female Unknown hybrid living at the NCSU greenhouses which we have affectionately named Nepenthes "Wolfplant" our best guess for what the parents of The Wolfplant are...
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...
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...
