Dexenthes' Nepenthes

[Dexenthes]

Latest pitcher for spectabilis x aristolochioides.

 

[Dexenthes]

Here's what was looking good!

N. spectabilis x aristolochioides colored up and oozing nectar. Sorry for the fog..

N. ventricosa x glandulifera intermediate pitcher?

N. spectabilis x talangensis basal pitcher

U. nelumbifolia - nelumbing

N. eymae x jacquenlineae first pitcher in my care.

N. eymae x eppiphiata first pitcher in my care.

And a new comer from Dashman's giveaway (thanks so much! ) - Royal Truncata N. "Queen of hearts" x "King of spades"

And my first ever obligatory cat picture - Miskers.

 

[Dexenthes]

So I just moved my setup around. Brought all the plants into my ice-box room so that they could continue getting the night time temperature drop that they need. (hopefully) I really like having them here on my desk to look at all the time.

N. glandulifera x boschiana - first pitcher in my care.

N. spectabilis x talangensis - basal pitcher.

Just a scene from in the terrarium, I like it.

Nobody else seems to like this plant at all. I'm a big fan though.

N. ventricosa x glandulifera

H. heterodoxa x minor, chugging along, out of focus, but N. faizaliana AW is clear in the back.

Always a pretty plant - N. spectabilis x aristolochioides.

And just wanting to prove that I still have it and it is still living, my favorite love - N. argentii. It looks like this latest leaf might make a pitcher.

And sorry I know I've posted a lot of these plants lately, but I can't get enough -

N. eymae x jacquelineae

And another fave - N. eymae x eppiphiata

Right side -

The eymae hybrid/royal truncata den.

That's everything!

Your welcome. I just got it not too long ago so can't really comment on the conditions it has been growing in. Perhaps a little more light should get it to color up.

Judging from the pics of your other neps, I'd say conditions will be perfect for it.

Whoa man, your plants look great!!

Yeah it is chugging along so far. All my plants could use a little more light, but I'm thinking it will do just fine, it seems like a sturdy plant. I can't really comment on the conditions it was growing in either.

Whoa man, your plants look great!!

Thank you! Coming from new King. But trust me, only the plants I posted look great.

 

[Wire Man]

I use pretty much the same lighting set up, works pretty well for me. The plants look good.

 

[Rokosauros]

Looking good, Dexenthes! I personally adore that N argentii

Thanks. Yeah I feel like this lighting setup is pretty much the bare minimum that the Nepenthes need. Ideally I would like to get maybe even twice as many lumens into that tank.

Looking good, Dexenthes! I personally adore that N argentii

Thank you! I adore it as well. I hope it grows up to be quite small and beautiful.

love the spec x talangensis

 

[CreatureTom]

Lookin' awesome man! I love the whole terrarium shots

 

[Dexenthes]

So yesterday I decided to finally bite the bullet and purchase some T5's. Seeing as the only size that they came in that was remotely reasonable for my plants was the 4 foot double tubes, I was forced to update my setup:

Finally the plants are not quite so crammed! And I have them all together now instead of divided between two terrariums.

A few of the better looking pitchers:

N. faizaliana

Another basal pitcher of N. spectabilis x talangensis

The basal is getting pretty sturdy looking!

And the rest of the old vine.

The only pitcher forming on the vine, I think it may be an intermediate, the coloration and form is slightly different than the lowers.

N. ventricosa x glandulifera really putting on some size.

Love the lid coloration

But especially the inner pitcher speckles.

I hope my babies like the change of scenery and lighting!

 

[fdfederation]

Marvelous!

N. ventricosa x glandulifera

N. ventricosa x glandulifera

Somebody who likes this cross!

 

[Heli]

oh, nice. I like your setup, thats a nice heli you got there! Minor, right?

 

[Dexenthes]

oh, nice. I like your setup, thats a nice heli you got there! Minor, right?

heterodoxa x minor, actually. It has stayed real small probably because of my old smaller lights.

 

[Heli]

Yea, I thought it was minor because of the smaller nectar spoons, but the lower light would explain that.

 

[Dexenthes]

More of the same.... Same of some more!

N. glandulifera x boschiana getting some color.

And because it is my only true love.... N. argentii

And because this is the first pitcher I've gotten with some red coloration on it, H. heterodoxa x minor

And because despite the tendril placement, I believe this to be an intermediate pitcher of N. spectabilis x talangensis.

Scarface, the N. spectabilis x aristolochioides.

And then the seedlings that I received from Ron's giveaway last year - S. oreophila "sand Mountain"

N. faizaliana finally starting to make what seems to be a maturish pitcher, RIGHT as I decide to sell it.

My slowest growing plant - H. pulchella, finally making a pitcher, and one that is mature looking at that!

N. eymae x x trusmadiensis, inflating its first pitcher for me.

N. ventricosa x glandulifera

 

[Rokosauros]

Nice dex! Glandulifera x boschiana is quite the vigorous one, is it? I've got one too, it just keeps growing bigger and bigger with every leaf and pitcher.
