The temp is fine then, a nep should be able to acclimatise to that. It could be a pest or disease, I’m really not sure.

How warm is it there

Originally it was from Hampshire carnivorous plants and I gave it osmocote, the leaf growth is stupid and it takes up most of my terrarium. There is also a photo of it before osmocote.

Lovely plants

At this location there are thousands of orchids including so many of the common twayade ( neottia Ovata ) that you have to be careful not to step on them. There was also butterfly orchids (not 100% sure what type ( lesser or greater look similar ). Finally there was dactylorhiza fuchsii ( the common spotted orchid ) and white or narrow leaved helleborine.

I took them on the 2nd June 2018

This a N. Talangensis x Robcantleyi. I’ve been growing it for quite a while. I gave it osmocote and the pitchers became rubbish but I had incredible leaf growth.

I’m almost certain that that has N. Ventricosa in it as the pitchers are a similar shape. Below is a photo of N. Ventricosa. I hope I have helped in some way

When I went to Malaysia me and a friend went to a ‘nepenthes garden’. If you are an enthusiast please visit it as it probably will close because it gets too few visitors. It is in Hulu Kinta near Ipoh and has many plants other than nepenthes as well. Anyway here are the pictures of the neps. :)

The last few photos I forgot to add.

Dam that’s a nice cross

I recently went to Malaysia and bought quite a few plants including an ampullaria tricolour ‘ugly’. Here are some photos of my now overcrowded terrarium.

A few more photos of the plants.

Makes my terrarium seem very basic compared to this (although it is quite basic)

My nepenthes Bloody Mary has about 4 basal shoots

I have a talangensis x robcantleyi that is slightly larger than your plant there.

So I bought some nepenthes macrophylla seeds from triffid (yes they actually have some) but I don’t want to risk me not being able to germinate them. So I have decided to ask about sending them to somebody who can germinate them (on this forum) if you can germinate the seeds please pm me. When the seeds germinate You will get to keep a macrophylla seedling for yourself (You do have to send the remaining seedlings back to me). if you are interested just pm me Kind Regards, Party Gecko

Very nice looking plant, I wonder what it will look like when it matures.

Just so everyone knows this thing with the seeds is over as I have contacted a nursery and they may accept it so I am just telling everyone that this is no longer possible with me sending the seeds. sorry for anyone who wanted to do this but it’s over now kind regards Party Gecko

The thing is the seeds I have in the correct conditions have not yet germinated (I think as I’m on holiday) but I just think it would be better if someone who really knows what they are doing. Also I’m tempted to ask Hampshire cp’s if they could germinate them as I’m pretty sure they don’t have a nepenthes macrophylla (I have been to their nurserie).

I can grow nepenthes and have some plants that are thriving producing 4 basal shoots at once. Also I have some seeds in the correct conditions to germinate. The reason for me asking this is that I 1.dont have enough space to germinate the seeds. 2. I don’t want to risk me not being able to germinate them.

I really want one of those now

Here are the seeds

Nice I guess I will sprinkle the seeds of one seed pod around the roots and I will send the other one to a website where you send orchid seed and they germinate it for you.

I have a pollinated orchid producing seed pods when I harvest the seeds how do I germinate them without agar jelly (is that what it’s called??) anyway please help
