Here's a couple of extra pictures the first is what my N.gentle looked like when I took it out of it's pot to repot the roots are circled in white I completely got rid of the old media it was just peat from what I could tell I soaked it in a big bucket for a bit and put it in it's new pot of peat/orchidbark/lfs 2/3/2 about that measurements I put a bit more peat around the roots it was a crazy day repotting that big Nepenthes and no pictures of the roots sorry my hands were so dirty repotting it also a box turtled walked near my back door.. cute guy or gal.. =)

Sorry some of the pictures are not very good I need to get a new camera, but this one will do for me right now.

For my birthday present my mom agreed to allow me to get a shelf and lights to build a nice grow shelf so my Nepenthes should be looking alot better once I get one also here's the link to the thread with pictures of my N.Sibuyanensis X N.Hamata ..

Nice looking collection! It appears that you are using the sun through the window as your source of light. What do you do in the fall/winter, when the the sun's photoperiod drops below 12/12? When I have had mine at the window they stop pitchering from November to May.

Thanks for the comments zero, mrtruncata, and jumscott I hope once I get my grow self setup the plants will look alot better I was finally able to convince my mom to allow me to get one as my birthday gift.

In November I should have some extra money from birthday money so I plan to use it on getting a shelf like I seen on the Greenhouses, Terrariums and Bog Gardens discussion area and some shopelights right now I'm still trying to figure out what kind of a shelf to get etc..

I'll post updates once my Neps grow a bit more.

Here's a little update of mu N.Sanguinea from Andy after a repot it made one deformed pitcher and then another one, but it looked almost normal, but now it's finally opened this one I took the pictures when I noticed it opened a little so the peristome is very interesting looking..

I'll take a little more pictures soon of it now that it's coloring up a bit more I like it's striped peristome. =)
