First Winter for me with CP's. I plan on keeping them outside throught. If they can survive through Oregon winters I think they'll do just fine in my location. We will have to see, I will be documenting throughout hopefully....

(2) S. purpurea (variety unknown)

It looks to me like a Purpurea ssp Venosa.

Here's mine.

Looks great, and just a heads up we are not aloud to mention any other US vendors outside of flytrapshop.com here, so id edit that post and take out that vendor name
i second valydius, they look like venosa to me.

 

[Capensis]

[GregNY]

He'll probably need to do like WildBill and mulch. The Island is indeed warmer than where we are, but it does freeze. Temps do get as low as 10 F, on occasion, and certainly many times in the 20's. I don't have the statistics but they do seem to be ~5-7 degrees warmer than WNY.

Looks cool.
but is that white stuff in the soil fertilizer?

The white stuff is perlite Chomp

 

[Chomp]

It doesn't hurt the plants? that's a relief; when I bought a pitcher, It had that stuff in the pot, and I got worried.

 

[GregNY]

Perlite won't hurt the plants. I was told though that you should repot any plants in perlite once a year due to , I believe, the risiing acidity level that perlite causes over time. As long as nothing laced with fertilizer is used, and aeration is good (for Nepenthes), growth should be fine...

 

[cmm889]

looks good for sure

I wouldnt worry about the perlite.. i've had things in perlite for years with out problems...

 

[marvin1997]

Err...some of my perlite turned brown THEN should I worry?
