Tom's Nepenthes

[CreatureTom]

Thought I'd create a picture thread here as I pretty much only get Neps now.. Its been a while and I've had a rearrange so it's time for an update

Might aswell start with the newest to pop;

Royal Truncata beginning to colour up, the peristome is thicker around the back so I'm hoping to see some more mature characteristics in the near future!

Glabrata growing like crazy, got veeery lucky in just missing the growth point when an ice pack fell on it, just took it off the leaf still wrapped around the stem!

First pitcher under my care

'Black Knight' banished to it's own end of the terrarium as its putting on some size

Lowii loves to make leaves but inflating pitchers painfully slowly!

Inermis x Bongso

Liking the shape of these pitchers a lot

Newest addition; Truncata x Ephippiata

Took no time to settle in and continue to inflate a pitcher

Jungle in a fish tank..

Looking Great!
I particularly like the N. Inermis x Bongso.
Any from how slow growing Lowii usually is, I'm glad it's at least putting out leaves quickly for you!

 

[MH1]

Looking Guuuurd

 

[Wire Man]

Very nice looking. The inermis x bongso has a good shape to it.

 

[Dexenthes]

Right on! I'm digging all your plants, they're healthy and pretty.

Though.... take it from me, a fellow terrarium man: Enjoy these days when all your plants look tidy and have plenty of space.

 

[CreatureTom]

Thanks a lot guys

[Fred P]

[CreatureTom]

Small update

Newest from Glabrata, made a nice jump in size for this pitcher

Young and plain but I quite like it, Veitchii x Platychila

Recently opened Truncata x Ephippiata

My new favourite! First Lowii pitcher in my care

Now for some non-neps..

H. Nutans x Heterodoxa - Finally started to grow again after being seperated due to Heli sudden death brownness!

A hitchhiker in my Ceph pot, can anyone give any idea as to what this young'un is?

Finally my first and only companion plant; Mimosa Pudica. I love how it goes to sleep at night!

Thanks for looking

 

[corky]

nice looking plants

 

[mass]

Is that one of those tickle me plants?

 

[CreatureTom]

Sure is, the whole thing collapses if it get disturbed enough (found out the first time I sprayed it!) The leaves also fold up at night.

 

[mikefallen13]

Your plants look great!

 

[Tony Paroubek]

Coming along nicely ;>

Might want to put a ? on the N. truncata x ephippiata. Looks a whole lot more like N. lowii x boschiana to me. Have any more leaf/plant photos to go with it?
