the plant arrived back in the middle of december, with one small 2" pitcher that finally died D:
but here it is now...not failing to pitcher once since it arrived, only the broken leaf it arrived with, sanguinea or not...imo, its pretty amazing :3

You gotta love N. sanguinea. It's so tolerant of many conditions and holds the most pitchers the longest for me. And despite being so common, it does have good looking pitchers, in my opinion.

Here's my N. sanguinea (mind you there are two main plants in this picture). I rarely cut off dead pitchers because they rarely die.

I got this plant from walgreens when I first started growing carnivrous plants, I re potted it after several months and it took a dive, it has fully recovered and is growing great now and is about the size of a plant you would receive from Andy. The pitcher developing in the third photo is the larger pitcher to the right in the second picture. And it's starting to color up more.
The last picture is when I first got it.

I'm waiting for that one guy to post photos of his sanguinea, the one that is like in a hanging basket near his sink.

If it's the picture I'm thinking of it's a N. ventrata. I'm trying to find it but my powers of search are failing me at the moment.

well, there is a guy who has a picture of a sanguinea in a hanging basket over a sink, but its not hanging there. he put it there for the pic.
 
Might as well throw my Sang from Andy up here too. It's doing very well. A bit drippy actually :p

yeah thats it PK.
im hoping mine hits vining here soon. that one doesnt look too much taller than mine does currently, so im kinda excited. all of my neps are thriving right now except for the 2 near dead ventricosa i got from Lowes. which are outside. in the 40-50 degree weather lol..i have no room in my terrarium ._.
 
alright! here we go! i got mine Dec 06. it came as a 3in plant. right now it doesnt look any good as i just put it outside and its a bit burnt and only one pitcher. but the second picture is from november last year i think. this is the fastest growing nep i have....growth in size anyways. its started to flat line in lateral growth(22in) but it is starting to vine!!!!!

Looks like you're running out of space there bud. Time to take over the windowsills!
 
I guess this is another thread talking about Andy's Sanguinea huh?

I got mine from him around April 7th or so and it arrived with it's growth tip broken off a week later I noctices a leaf comming from the broken area it also had two pitchers one formed and ones lid was opening some.

Today it's new leaf is 2 inches and another leaf with a tendril is developing I must say N.Sanguinea is a tough plant and very colorful so far I feed the pitcher 4 spiders 3 flys and it has caught 2 flys on it's own.

I have before and after pictures to show, but sadly I have slow internet and it takes forever to load just one picture so I'll have to show you all them sometime.. =\
 
i got one from andy last spring in awesome condition (arrived better then yours did!) and it had and still does have huge pitchers! My first pitcher of the year was bigger then the pitchers from my MATURE ventrata when it arrived!
 
Very nice! The one I got from Andy about a month ago came with one pitcher and has already produced or is producing 3 more.
