Any Pics of Nepenthes Diatas

[dionae]

Wish i could get my diatas to pitcher, had it for several years, grows quite ok, stands 0C with no probs, even grew a side shoot which rooted itself, but still no pitchers...

What conditions are you keeping yours in?

 

[DJ57]

Wish I could find out what all these questionable vendor's initials are so I don't make the same mistake...BE, PFT, etc. Perhaps in a PM?

 

[Dexenthes]

He concluded it was PFT.

Which is too bad, it's the only nursery that is carrying a certain terribly exotic cross that I want to lay my hands on. ..

But I really struggle to justify giving these !^$%@* any more business.

 

[dionae]

So do I Dex, so do I...

 

[NewspaperFort]

I for one don't like their website one bit

Which cross would that be? I have an idea I might know some "alternative" sources for some recent BE imports.

Here are some pics of mine from July or August. The plant has several more leaves and pitchers now.

Nice lil teeth!

Just received an email and they said they would refund my money withing the next few days. I'll keep you all updated.

FOTR did your diatas arrive?

 

[Dexenthes]

Which cross would that be? I have an idea I might know some "alternative" sources for some recent BE imports.

The cross would be singalana x hamata. I haven't seen it anywhere else... But I haven't really researched too hard.

 

[Whimgrinder]

@Dex: PM'd!

 

[Foxoftherose]

@Dionae: Mine arrived, and it was much, much smaller than promised, although I still like it a lot. The other plants were also much smaller, but very healthy looking. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Glad to hear they're refunding your money! Did they ask for the plant back? Did they offer any explanation or at least an apology?

 

[dionae]

No, they didnt ask for the plant back and he said it was the best looking one he had and that he had considered not sending it and yes, he apologized. Soon as the refund goes through i'll be happy.

Still want my diatas though.

 

[dionae]

Received my refund today.

New N. diatas

My new nepenthes came today. Another N diatas and a N ampullaria Brunei Red. Both look great. Hopefully, I can keep them looking that way.

 

[pills23]

They look beautiful and very healthy! I love the dark peristome on the amp.

 

[dionae]

New pitcher opening on the diatas. I was really worried about it liking my greenhouse but it seems to like it just fine. Gets 70-80F during the day and about 45F at night and stays 80-100% humidity.
