VERY nice!! How long have you been growing now? It seems you've come a very long way very fast!

Devon.B: Um..all of like, 6 months?

Capensis: Thanks! I'm surprised with how awesome they look every day!

those look great. Do you have any problems with them getting to much sun in San Diego durning the summer?

Some of the pitchers get crispy up top when it gets to 90degrees for a couple months straight, but otherwise I think they're fine. In the sun it gets hot enough to wear t-shirt and shorts, but in the shade it's cold enough to need a light jacket, for most of the year. The pitchers only get sun from about 8 or 9am til about 1:30 pm, otherwise they're in the shade.

Thez_yo, awesome collection.

I was thinking about getting some of those "long" white rectangular pots as well - they just don't have much of a water tray. About how often do you have to water them in Spring vs. in mid-summer?
