    Cephalotus Phil Mann

    I've had this clone for many years, it came from a TF member that will remain nameless to protect them from gimmie/gimmie spam, I'm not 100% sure of the TF member but I believe I recall the correct person, it was one of the first few Cephs I'd acquired and did not realize the importance of...

    Pitchers curved on a dividing Sarracenia?

    Same one that has the caterpillar issue, starting a few weeks ago it divided into maybe four or five plants. All the pitchers it produces are small, and the ones that look like they would grow to full size are bent sort of like candy canes. This is a picture of it a week and a half ago, in the...

    "stalled" Red Leopard

    My N. red leopard seems to have hit a stall. Usually it produces basals by the dozen and this is it's third year of the main vine producing uppers. Last year I removed all but two large basals. It was freshly repoted about six months ago and has been enjoying a plentiful diet of yellow...

    First CP thread

    Hey folks. I'm very new around here. This is my first attempt at CP. I've made the classic hobbyist mistake that I've scolded so many fellow reefers for doing, which is buying livestock before you research. Luckily I didn't mess up too bad I recently picked up a S. Purpurea, and a VFT from...

    CPs at the US Botanic Garden!

    For all of you who were expecting an amazing display of horticultural wonders, I sincerely apologize. A few years ago, I took a trip to DC and only saw a single terrarium housing some light-starved Sarracenia and Dionaea. I returned recently, full of optimism, eager to see to what was hopefully...

    Pitcher choice by insects; height, color, size or nectar?

    I have a N. red leopard that has a fairly tall main vine, which produces uppers, and two shorter basals. The main vine is twice the height of the basals, while the lower pitchers are easily twice the size of the uppers. Now, I have noticed over the weeks that this nep has been summering...

    Prepping for winter

    Well this is my first summer growing CP. Started with a VFT, now I have a Cephalotus on the way and a fresh Sarracenia that I just bought. For the winter, I will for sure need to have the pitchers brought inside as the deep winters will be too cold here in PA. I also need to be able to simulate...

    I have been neglecting my Sarracenia Clusters of photos, time for a night excursion. (Sorry pictures suck. IT was really dark with a bad flashlight.) I thought the greenhouse would be the best location for my bog plants, But its not so. A good amount of light is lacking, so next season im...

    How do i transition a terrarium pitcher to being outside?

    Honestly, when I first got this pitcher, it sat outdoors for 3 months perfectly fine and was making pitchers. I prob should've just let it be without throwing it in a terrarium. This plant is growing super fast and I want to take it out without killing it. How do i do this? This is a...

    Pitcher Die-off on Nepenthes pulchra

    Recently the pitchers on my Nepenthes pulchra have been dying off. I got the plant a few months ago and it has been growing in the same conditions with 80 degrees in the day and low 60s at night and close to 100% humidity the whole time. I have the plant under CFLs for 10 hours every day. The...

    Progress Update for Andrew's Nepenthes Seed Giveaway Last Year

    Figured I'd post this in General, rather than the Nepenthes sub-forum since the giveaway was aimed at amateur growers who had few to no Nepenthes at the time of the giveaway, and who may or may not watch the Nepenthes forums with any regularity. I'd like as many of them to chime in as possible...
