Thank you so much! They're awesome as they grow up. I'm going to be removing the large one from the terrarium very soon. It needs a giant pot and will then become a house plant. Hopefully I'll see uppers before college.

MORE RAFFS AND LL NEPS!!!!

An old Agristarts clone of N. rafflesiana gifted to me by Mason.

N. ampullaria 'Lime Twist' started pitchering again after I repotted it.

Some pings from Greg are very happy in the rocks at the bottom of the terrarium.

I am a huge fan of my ventrata. It now has three growth points and has begun to vine.

I'm pretty boring, but I thought I would make a walk through to show my collection now for reference later.

Found something really cool today! A big jumping spider is living in one of my sarrs and feeding on whatever falls inside. I made the image huge and edited to an extreme so you can see it. It looks like it's eating a beetle here. Bonus points for who can guess the species of Sarracenia!

Nice pics and vid! Also, I've never seen leaves as dark as that one N. rafflesiana you have in the corner of the terrarium. They're almost blue-green. Is that a varietal thing or is it typical for some Nepenthes?
 
Most rafflesianas have dark leaves like that, though that one is very nice. It varies with species and plant, though.
 
Nope, it's an unreliable source of cytokinins. I'm going to experiment with seaweed extract, it may be more useful.
 
Time for a hot and steamy photo dump.

Look who's joined the party!

It has a cool peristome color. A very mild purple.
