    Brown spots on Nepenthes Ampullaria Pitchers

    Hey all. Recently I noticed one of my nepenthes ampullaria pitchers had some brown spots on it. I didn't think much of it (I assumed maybe it was the way that pitcher developed) until I took a closer look at the pitchers of the basals and saw that one of them also has the same brown spots. It...

    Pitcher/Flower season has begun!

    Hi all, Just reporting in from Georgia, where it appears that once again the plants in the teaching collection are breaking dormancy. Dare I say they might be the earliest pitchers and flowers yet in the northern hemisphere? Invariably, 2-3 weeks after the solstice all taxa in the collection...

    rusty/ashen spots on dying leaf?

    Hello everyone, I was just wondering if these spots are normal on dying leaves? The leaves at the bottom of the stem have died, and this one is developing spots rather than just turning brown. The stem is also starting to brown, but i think that is just the stem turning woody. This plant is...

    I need some help here with my N. ventricosa x "Lady Pauline". I've had it for 2+ years now and it's just leggy and scrawny looking. It was sold to me from a reliable ebay seller as a seedling.

    Can over-feeding a heliamphora cause the pitchers to develop brown spots?

    I beleive I may have gotten overzealous when I got my Maxsea for Christmas and over-did it on my Heliamphora heterodoxa x minor. The pitcher I sprayed the most seems to be browning a lot (I also attempted to give it some ground up betta pellets in RO water, I know rookie mistake to give it so...

    S. Mardi Gras for trade

    I have an adult (single growth, produced pitchers 10-12" this past season) sized division of Sarracenia 'Mardi Gras' available for trade. Make an offer. Note: I am more interested in acquiring small/miniature tropical (intermediate temp) Orchids than other CPs at this time.

Some look like they have some pest damage and a couple have fairly recent leaves, still with pitchers (at least partly alive), that are drying up from the sides of the leaves. My plants are all grown...

    Matt V's photo thread!

    Just wanted to share some photos of my neps and their progression. I grow my plants under LEDs. The problem I struggle most with is low humidity but it seems like really bright light helps harden my plants and sphagnum (resist drought). Ive built a second grow box to house larger plants though...

    Okay, about two years ago I received two hamata from overseas, both the same size but different clones. They have been raised together but one has outshone the other. Here is the first, growing nicely, except only two pitchers right now, in a three inch pot. And here is the other, still in...
