NASC Auction will END in...

Review the rules :)
NASC auction is OPEN!!

Hello!

I found this site while looking for information on nepenthes and am so glad I did! I recieved a plant from a friend but she had no information on it other than it is a nepenthes variety. I'm not sure which one it is and how to best take care of it. (I will try and post some picture of the plant shortly). I have admired sarracenia purpurea for many years, but have never had the courage to try and set up a bog garden in my yard. I live north of Toronto and have seen this plant in the wild and think it is most beautiful. I guess my friend thought this plant would be an easier pitcher to care for...I guess only time will tell :blush: Anyhow, I'm happy to be here and can't wait to browse around :)

Welcome Trixie!

Considering that S. purpurea grows natively in your area, I would draw courage from that and give it a shot. So long as the quality of your water is good (very soft and free from salts) and you provide it with lots of sunlight, it should do well for you - more so even than the Nepenthes - which will definitely need to be kept indoors at least part of the year.
