Rats! I just mulched my Sarrs yesterday, and I bought my first Nepenthes at the end of September. Next year, next year!

Good luck, everyone!

(Dex, that's a gorgeous bicalc... Love the lighting, too! Sunset through a west window?)

 

[Dexenthes]

Thanks! That was actually what could be considered high noon for today. It didn't get much higher in the sky than that, but yes, a westward window at about one pm.

[nightsky]

That N. jamban is insane! How big is the entire plant?

 

[amphirion]

@nightsky, thank you very much. here is the plant from maybe 2 months ago---the pitchers have recently exploded in growth size since then. i guess its time for another pic in the near future.

sorry for the tangent

Amph: I want your jamban.... NAO!

Seriously though: Major envy.
