merrilliana

HI, My merrilliana and bical. have new leaves that are the deepest blood red and the merrilliana has bumps that are showing very strongly. Are the bumps just nectar glands? As for the strong red color, are the lights too close or just adjusting to the lighting? Also the merrilliana's new leaf...

Hi, One of my largest N. merrilliana just produced a fairly nice pitcher. It's about 23 cm tall, but nowhere near what the species is capable of producing.... Anyway, just thought some of you might enjoy seeing this image.

Hi everyone, I have one nice, healthy ampularia for trade. I'm looking for first and foremost N. maxima...but pretty much any nep I don't have woud be concidered. What do I have, you ask? ampularia (duh) aristolochioides (like I'd get one for an amp anyway, lol) bicalcarata campanulata...

Pat inspired me to get my butt uploading these pictures , plus I had to wait for the plants to do something. ;) Enjoy! largest N. bicalcarata pitcher I've seen before, its measuring 6inches tall 4 inches wide. The touchy plant and seldomely seen with pitchers, N. merrilliana. A nice...

BioGold: My Nepenthes' Saviour.   The fertiliser comes in the form of triangular prisms that smell of ammonia and rotting fish.  We (Steve LaWarre (of Frederik Meijer Gardens) and I)wondered whether Nepenthes would benefit from this weak, organic fertiliser.  The only concern we had was that of...

I have one larger plant each of N. ventricosa, N. sibuyanensis, and the hybrid ventricosa x mapuluensis. I also have a variety of orchids, ferns, bromeliads, etc. I am looking for species (not hybrids) that I do not have. Plants or cuttings will be considered. I am looking for something other...

Hi Don't you just hate it when your Nepenthes plant comes crashing to the floor!! Found my flourishing N. merrilliana x alata all over the bathroom floor. The freshly opened pitcher split open Thankfully the stem and new growing point are intact. Guess it might sulk for a while now...

here are the Nepenthes I grow guess which plant I would say is the hardest/slowest growing. Nepenthes Lowland N. alata N. albomarginata "spotted” N. ampullaria N. ampullaria "green" N. bicalcarata N. campanulata N. clipeata N. gracilis "typical" N. gracilis “nigrapurpurea”* N. hirsuta N...

Hey all,       Are you having difficulty with this species growing and or pitchering properly? Well I have discovered something quite interesting. Recently I asked Tony what he thought if my two plants should be repotted, he said they might need it but he wasn't 100% sure as the pots were big...

Hey Guys and Gals! I have purchased N. Merrilliana and N. Bicalcarata. I read up on them at the "Nepethes University," but I wanted to run this by you folks for some feedback anyhow. I plan to put both in LFS. Water the Bical like an amp (very wet), and just keep the Merri damp. Both will be in...

Hi- My Nepenthes merrilliana is now in spike, getting ready to flower for the first time. Obviously, I'm not sure of the gender, but because a flowering merrilliana is a pretty rare occurence for most collectors, I don't want to waste this opportunity. The flowers should be open in about a...

hey ppl I was over at the ICPS website and I ran a search for past messages of n merrilliana in the CP listserver and ran across an old thread about using laterite in CP mixes. I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with this material. I did a search on google on laterite and I think...
