Maybe I should make a plant post

Terrible, because it's winter. Not enough light = no new pitchers for me.

Zu, obviously your definition of "terrible" differs greatly from mine.

Beautiful as always; but I wouldn't turn my back on a few of those plants . . .

A small update - The N.boschiana x campanulata was slumping because it's just such a stocky, beefy plant, so it was time for a re-adjust/stake

The N.robcantleyii made a huge leaf




And I fished out the N.campy x max






S.umlauftiana flower

The bosch x campy pitcher is wonderfully shaped!

 

[Maiden]

Nice plants!

Can i ask you what is the relative humidity around your neps collection?

 

[Tanukimo]

I love the inermis! It fits so nicely with the jamban behind it. And those robcantleyii leaves remind me of truncata leaves.

Whatever it is in San Diego. Sometimes it's 10%, sometimes it's 90%. Their leaves and pitchers are pretty hard.

N.rob used to be called truncata black, or royal truncata, but there was a re-name because it was found to be sufficiently different to warrant a separate species listing. There are toooonnnns of colourful debates about it if you search the archives of various plant fora for posts about a year or two ago now.

Reluctantly.. a good solid year of neglect (imho) after the back and hand surgeries, and right after winter, they all look like pothos vines lol

CPs are hardier than people give them credit for. I took NepenthesAroundTheHouse as my role-model and ran with it.
