Hi wezx, I got your email but I'll just answer your question here, and let anyone correct me if I'm wrong, since I'm pretty new to CPs as well
Woon Leng's address is:
Their website is http://www.woonleng.com
I think it's best to call them to find out what they have before making a trip down. It is really very ulu, unless you happen to live around Choa Chu Kang and have a convenient mean of travel.
Other places to visit include Far East Flora (both Thomson and Ridout Park), and basically any nursery since these may sometimes sell Neps (and usually that CP alone). There's also a local collector who sells CPs but he seems to be uncontactable recently.

Yes, they like the water. Don't follow the advice given in the BP CP book from Singapore. Check this out instead: http://www.petflytrap.com/vftcare.html
Hi Wezx, I'm glad you found us! The address I gave you was obviously correct.
These guys can probably answer all your questions better than me but do keep in touch with me via my normal e-mail.
Happy growing, Neil
p.s. you asked me last time where I bought my plants. If you want nepenthes in Singapore then I'd recommend Island nursery for some nice mature plants. They normally have 2 varieties. This is one variety I bought last week.

wezx,
I recommend four books... books becos' you can bring them into the kitchen or anywhere else with you when you need to take a cutting or is repotting.
1. Savage Gardens by Peter D' Amato (great cultivation tips)
2. Carnivorous Plants of the World by James and Patricia Pietropaolo (detailed description on how to take a cutting, repot plants, and cultivate them)
3. Carnivorous Plants by Tony Camilleri (great photos)
4. Carnivorous Plants of Singapore by Hugh T.W. Tan (what we have as our nation's pride)

As for savage garden... you can either get it from the library or buy it online. It's so useful that I'd buy it online myself. Amazon is good, but try this local company: http://www.acmabooks.com
I think it's cheaper (due to the delivery costs, which are very high from Amazon). There's also Adrian Slack's "Carnivorous Plants", which I understand to be more descriptive of the plants, rather than providing practical cultivation information. I wld get Savage Garden first, then get Slack's "Insect Eating Plants and How to Grow Them".
