Your collection is INSANE!


BTW...how do you manage to get ovata to make uppers?.....because mine won't.

 

[petmantis]

Your Villosa is gigantic! Wow! Any pitcher closeups?

 

[mass]

any pitchers on that villosa? Love to see em'!

 

[thez_yo]

Wow so lovely.

Very nice, all of them. I especially like the composition on that macfarlanei shot. Your ventricosa x inermis looks very ventricosa-like, much more so than my own clone. My plant actually looks more like your flava. Anyways, keep up the good work!

Hi,
Thanks everyone for your kind words- most appreciated.
Because I tend to have very hard conditions particulary over winter most of my Neps stop pitchering and resume again in spring or early summer. Not surprising the villosa is one of the ones that takes its time to get going again. And like others have noted it is harder to get to reliably pitcher once it reaches a certain size. I am going to have to do a bit of a rejig in that part of the greenhouse to give it and the rajah more room!
I guess my min temp is about 59/65f in the summer & highs of 85f. Though the villosa is on the floor in a cooler part of the house.
The ovata took ages to take off but once it started to vine it rocketed ahead.

I am amazed my Neps do so well considering the neglect I give them!!

cheers

Awesome Nepenthes! I love N. macfarlanei, and your mini maxima is great too.

Everything is just stellar! Thank you so much for sharing.

Awesome collection! I'd love to see more shots of your N. flava.

 

[limeslide]

I love your collection! I'm very jealous.

Doesn't villosa have teeth? or is that just lower pitchers?
