Tom's Nepenthes

[CreatureTom]

I was actually thinking that recently, though I got the plant from someone who's a lot more experienced than me so I assumed his judgement was better than mine, I'll post some pictures of the whole plant tommorow. Thanks for the response!

Nice plants! I love the lowii.

Also the hitch hiker dew I would bet is D. capensis. But you'll find out when it gets older. Feed it, and it will grow much faster!

 

[CreatureTom]

Thanks Dex! Tony, here's a picture of the whole plant, after a little internet search I think you're right that it's a Lowii x Boschiana.

Christmas present of Spectabilis x Mira (also the red/pink moss)

Great looking Neps!! I really like the Mimosa Pudica too I think Ill add it to my gigantic wish list lol

 

[CreatureTom]

Most of my Neps have been loving the cool winter temperatures, however some of them have slowed down dramatically!

Getting to the point where I've got no room left! Although I like how they're beginning to grow over each other now.

Glabrata loving the cold temps and growing super-speed

x Black Knight showing its Ramispina characteristics more as it gets older, sorry about the crappy picture but you get the idea!

Spec x Mira, first pitcher in my care and already it's one of my favourites

Lowii, growing very fast (relatively!)

Inermis x Bongso, leaves are getting a bit burnt but the pitchers go nice and dark

Lowii x Boschiana

Cephalotus!

Side 2

Thanks for looking!

After the massive response to my last update I felt obliged to post more pictures

'Black Knight' put out a biggy (for me anyway!)

Awkwardly placed but nicely coloured Spectabilis x Mira

Robcantleyi, really starting to show hints of mature pitchers

Ceph repotted in a 2 litre plastic bottle and seeming happy

Cobra Lily's first pitcher after waking up

Binata awakened and speeding along

Beautiful plants Tom.

 

[corky]

looking real nice tom,that cantleyi looks nice and a bit different from some looks to have a more rolled back peristrome i wonder if its the age or they might be quite variable,i like the spec mira too ,nice when only young and with great things to come i recon,my plants slowed down loads aswell i think we both will be pleased with a bit more warmth and faster growth,got my first cobra the other week do you keep yours inside all year,

 

[Dexenthes]

God I love that N. glabrata!

 

[CreatureTom]

Thanks a lot guys!

Thanks! I think some like the robcantleyi will start to grow much faster in when its hotter although i'm worried about the glabrata slowing/stopping to make pitchers.
I keep my cobra lily outside when it gets sunnier, it can get a bit dry as i forget about it occasionaly but I think the full sun is worth it, along with the nice reddening of pitchers.

What is your secret to the black knight? Mine is putting out a basal in the GH but doing absolutely nothing with pitchers. Getting high light and humifity.

Ante look awesome

They're coming along very nicely!

I really have no idea i'm afraid; its always seemed pretty bomb proof in my experience. My temperatures are 20-25C in the day and 10-13ish in the night and humidity stays at around 80% all the time, hope this helps in any way.

They're coming along very nicely!

Thanks!

Spectabilis x Mira

Arrived on friday, Aristolochioides x Ventricosa (new from BE)
All the pitchers so far don't show any distinct characteristics although the developing ones are looking nice and hunchbacked!

Also arrived on friday, Sibuyanensis

Lowii

 

[JB_OrchidGuy]

Love lowii!!!! Looking forward to a pitcher on mine. Thanks for the tease. Lol

 

[mass]

can't wait for my SG spec x mira to start making some nicer peristomes. Very nice.

Spectabilis x Mira looks like candy with those stripes .
