So here is my current grow list
Sarracenia:
Had to give up on Sarracenia for now because I don't have enough sun anymore because my condo complex put in a huge Ulmus parviflora right in front of my porch.
Nepenthes:
Ampy!
1 N. ampullaria Red BE
1 N. ampullaria Tricolor SG
1 N. ampullaria...
I'm starting to construct a terrarium/chamber for my one new Heli (of which I hope I will get more) and other select highland plants that need cool temps and higher humidity. As I have no real money to spend on the chamber at the moment, It is being constructed in the most ghetto fashion...
Oh dear lord.. it's a LOT bigger than I remember. Need to find a better spot for it, kind of an eye sore at the moment. But weighing in at 700Lbs.. I'm not in a big hurry to try and move it again. :rolleyes: I see there's the same model on eBay for $850. So the $30 I payed is sitting fine by me...
I set up a simple table with most all Nepenthes species broken into the five common categories; ultra-lowland, lowland, intermediate, highland, and ultra-highland. I have based the placement on altitudinal distribution mostly. I also have temperature range at the top of each category.
Maybe...
i was thinking about getting a N. jacquelineae, but first i need to know, will this species do fine in intermidiate conditions or is it an ultra highlander?
Thanks in advance

My highland Neps and Helis thrive in my current conditions but I want to get serious about growing a N. Macrophylla. I think I can cover the humidity, daytime temp, and light requirements with my current setup. I need a way to provide a drop in temperatures at night.
Cheaper is better and...
This has been my first attempt at this , but one out of nine, is OK with me.
I'm still learning , I had asked a few questions here, and started before I had gotten more than a few answer's, I know I should have been a little more patient:-(, once I had had them settled in for a week or two, I...
Hey everyone,
Does anyone have any growing tips for Nepenthes Inermis? Mine has finally arrived on the east coast and is on it's way via USPS to California! It's been 3 months since I ordered the little guy.
Anyway, is anyone out there having success with this ultra highland? And if so...
Note: I am always open to trades... but I never have much to offer. If you don't want cuttings of plants or seedlings, my trades are mostly me paying the shipping and bowing down to you :lol: If we do trade, though, I DO NOT CARE ABOUT PRIORITY FLAT RATE. I think it's just a waste of money, so...
I purchased a small fridge used in hopes of some how using it to make an ultra highland terrarium .
has anyone attempted this and can a hole be made in the side wall in order to vent/ move (vie fan of some sort) cool air to the terr.
Is the freon/ coolant running all about the sides an such or...
ULTRA RARE: Glow Spot Roaches
These babies are not easy to come by. I did a trade a while ago for some nymphs and finally have a couple adults now. I've seen these sell for $15-$18 each..

Hi,
I'm sure that many of you are aware of my VFT hydroponics experiment that had been running since 2009. That experiment uses an active hydroponics called Deep Water Culture (DWC). Whilst it has been successful, the complexity of the setup may put some people off of trying it, so this year I...
Dad ordered me a nepenthes talangensis as a gift(i have no idea why) but i know its an ultra highlander.I don't have the money or permission to build a highland chamber so does anyone have any advice on growing it or am i pretty much screwed?
Here are some of my pics, ive had mine since the last weeks of november or so, when i got it the growth tip was broken , but in just a few weeks it had produced this pitcher, it was there when it came but tiny,
.
.
then in a week or so it had started to color up. this was just before Christmas...

Greeting to all of you fine TF folk,
I thought I'd take the time to do a proper introduction, since I have been spending more and more time on this wonderful forum of yours. I spend most of my time on the OCPS forum in Canada, but also check out some of the other CP forums, from time to time...
As the title suggests, i am getting a D Regia today, or very shortly... Would anyone who has this majestic king sundew have a good mix they'd like to share with me, 50/50 peat and sand works well with every other dew I have. I'm just wondering if anyone has any other prefered mixes?
Standing in...
I got my new digital camera. It uses SDHC media which means it supports the "faster new media" but is it any better to pay the extra for "SDHC Ultra", "Ultra II" and "Extreme"? I bought an SDHC Ultra II card with the camera which says on the packaging that this media takes pictures faster, is...
