Dexenthes' Nepenthes

[Rocketcaver]

That squirrel has a little tartar buildup there, you better take care of that.

 

[potted_plants]

well that squirrel is definitely carnivorous

 

[Heli]

Wow very nice hamata. Do you know whether it is tc or sg? The coloration is very similar to my sg katopassa hamata!

It's seed-grown

More pics!

First up, my windowsill Nepenthes: ventricosa, loving the longer days but not loving the intense sun we've had lately.

Its windowsill comrades, P. moctezumae waking up for the year. This is the only plant that Liz has ever sent me that survived.

Then the old trusty D. capensis that I got from Andy over two years ago, they've been eaten by aphids all winter and they just shook them all off and are back on track.

And... already it's flowering.

Then this little pot, it seems to do okay.

D. natalensis appears to be still alive after the difficult winter.

D. capensis 'alba' that sprouted out of nowhere a while back... also shaking off the aphids.

And this cool fern that shares the pot, no idea where it came from or what it is but I like it.

H. heterodoxa x minor doing well.

Sorry, here's some more actual Nepenthes.

I'm trying to figure out which N. ventricosa x hamata I should keep... plant one:

Plant two, slightly larger in growth, taller pitchers. . .

N. singalana x hamata looking great.

 

[dueoka]

Why not keep both? Or at least let them grow out a little more before you decide. They both look AMAZING!

Well... I would like to keep both, I like both of them dearly, but I am in the process of reducing the size of my collection so having two of something...

 

[dueoka]

Sorry bout that. Well I like the first one best, red all over and slightly tubby. But then, I like fat pitchers!

You have amazing plants! Love the dark purple on the singalana x hamata! Beautiful!

 

[Heli]

wow, awesome plants! I really like the coloration of the heliamphora.

 

[mato]

Five pitchers on that singalana x hamata? You're making mine look like a nun.

 

[bluemax]

I vote plant one too, Dex. 'Love the stout wide pitchers. I'm waiting for pictures of the argentii when it pitchers.

The first one is getting high ratings lately... Thank you!

Thanks.

That was my entire goal in life.

I knew people would prefer plant one... I almost do too.. It's such a hard choice! I am waiting for it to pitcher too.... So much so that....

Moar Pics!

N. spectabilis x talangensis

Plant #2

N. burbidgeae x edwardsiana doing good.

I was messing around with my microscope and snapped a few pictures of N. hamata, they didn't exactly turn out, but here they are anyway..

I just received this Cephalotus from Dionea, it had spent two weeks in the mail! But it appears to be mostly okay.

And it almost feels wrong to post this picture....

 

[limeslide]

Dex, good growing!

 

[Dexenthes]

Why thank you Lime.

 

[dionae]

it had spent two weeks in the mail!

I'm so surprised that it made it in such good condition. Its been forever.

Beautiful plants btw.

 

[Dexenthes]

I'm so surprised that it made it in such good condition. Its been forever.

I know! Your packing job was pretty good though. It looks like it just was starved for light but not the least bit stressed otherwise.

 

[Dexenthes]

N. eymae x ephippiata

N. eymae x jacquelineae

N. ventricosa x hamata plant two

Some non-Nepenthes . . .

D. capensis 'Red' finally getting kinda red in the natural sunlight.

With S. oreophila seedlings

Largest of them so far.

I finally have D. regia!!

 

[Heli]

Really nice plants dex! I wish I got one of the vent x hamatas.

 

[mikefallen13]

Nice regia!!

 

[Dexenthes]

Thanks you two ^^

More pics! MORE!

This plant is really starting to "grow" on me and is now easily my third largest Nepenthes that I have (not saying much). I fertilized it lightly a couple weeks back and it appears to be just loving it.

N. glandulifera x boschiana

Glands secreting nectar

And covering all surfaces.

Really quite handsome (IMO), the boschiana influence is gradually getting more obvious as time goes by.

Always hairy

Then of course, N. hamata just popped this pitcher really quickly it seems.. not all that impressive either but a hundred dollar plant deserves to get its picture taken.

I'm hoping it can keep five pitchers at a time, maybe more!

N. ventricosa x hamata plant one, colored up.

You can't stop these plants, pitcher after pitcher!

N. argentii is really picking up the pace!

And good ol' N. spectabilis x talangensis made this goofy looking tubby pitcher buried in the other plants
