Hey guys, went for a holiday with my family near the border of terengganu and well found some neps there :) Its my first time seeing wild lowland neps and well that made my day :) Here are the pictures.
Here are some of the huge N. gracilis i found...Kinda hard to miss even though you're going...
Hello TerraForums!
To my delight, I found that my Nepenthes spathulata x veitchii 'Judith Finn' is going to bloom. I believe that all the specimens of this cultivar are male, which would mean I am going to have pollen available as it opens (which probably wont be for a while, since I just...
Have posted this elsewhere, but wanted to post here, too.
Pardon my long silence. Have been really busy for a very long time. But, I have interesting news!
After 14 years, my N. villosa is producing an inflorescence! Although the raceme has yet to fully develop, my initial guess is that this...
i would like to start by saying i found this on www.thegardenhelper.com . this is not my work, it is that of the person who posted this on the site mentionned above. I thought it is EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE and makes defining easy by using plain old english, and not technical terms!
Please, ENJOY...
Lowland N.veitchii were thought to be growing in most part of the lower mountain range of Sarawak. Where they were sighted their population were low. Their growth habitat heath forest were mostly in inaccessible and untamed places usually at higher altitude. Through researching and interviewing...
Excuse my descriptions, I am not a brom expert. I have four broms (red inflorescence) cup-types, one without the cup (pink inflorescence with purple flowers) and four air plants. If you'd like any or all of these, please email me @ quietgloaming@netzero.com. All are in excellent condition, I'm...
Hi all,
As some of you may have read, I'm planning on figuring out if it is possible to switch the gender in Nepenthes plants. For this, I will need known males, as I will be attempting to switch gender from male to female. I'm doing this for the reason that not only are females more rare, but...
I'm looking for N. boschiana pollen to cross with a female boschiana. I don't own the female, but am posting this for someone else. They are looking to get the entire inflorescence, and would need it within the next 2 weeks tops. If you have a male in flower or know of someone who does, please...
Can someone give me some insight into the best growing conditions for these?
I have two of them. Both are in the standard sand/peat mix. One is in a heated greenhouse, 20 by 30 feet. Temps are kept above 50. The other is indoors under growlights, with a humidity dome.
Both are getting smaller...
Hi everyone.Today i has collected seeds from 2 rafflesiana plant-an elongated green form and the normal form. The purpose is to compare their seeds count in relation to the their population in the wild. My observation was confined to an area,no exact count on the exact no.of rafflesiana plants...
Hi,
recently did a cross between xcoccinea X mirabilis 'red'
All went well fortunately and now the fruits are quite ripe. It took the fruit 6-7weeks to ripen the last time I crossed this with gracilis, now is the 6th week of this xcoccinea cross, so need more experienced breeders to help me . I...
Maybe I should have somebody else to post this because nobody will believe it's really true if I post it, but here goes anyway.
A S.purpurealike plant was found in China. Bad news it it went exticnt millions of years ago. Maybe this will give a little detail to the evolution of CP's.
Several months ago, I cut off the inflorescence from my D. binata (multifida extrema). I cut it into several 1.5" segments, and floated these in distilled water.
I noticed yesterday that they are beginning to sprout roots and send up plantlets.
When they are a bit bigger, I will cut the stems...
Here is the first one I brought in... S purpurea ssp venosa; I rescued this one from a small cubic plastic prison at Lowe's. In the foreground is a prolific U livida in bloom. Not seen, to the right of the utric in the same pot, is a D capensis seedling. The two largest pitchers have grown...
I am happy to announce that another of my N. lowii is in bloom, and even more exciting is the fact that it is a female! This plant is from G. Mulu, a bit less common than the variety from G. Trus Madi.
Currently, the inflorescence is growing out, and no flowers have yet opened. However, I...
Hi,
I've noticed there are several growers here that have this species and also that the issue of flowering has come up before. I have a specimen that is about to flower for the first time. I am pondering if there a way to determine the sex when they still are in bud. I have been searching the...
Hello everyone
Well I took the digital camera out to Tamarisk Nurseries today, which is only 8 miles south from my house. I feel lucky to have such a nursery so near to home. I would've taken more pictures of other plants (tsillandias and the multitude of cacti), but the memory stick was only...

Hi,
Well, I've been meaning to post a few things for a while,
and thought now would be a good time.
First of all, I've had a lot of things flower this year, including
NN. lowii, aristolochioides, maxima, lowii x veitchii, spathulata,
and so forth, but nothing is quite as exciting as this: N...
