  1. Amazing as always Krzysio! I love seeing your plants, thank you for sharing! I don't know if you remember, I was in awe when I saw some images you posted of your Nepenthes Rob x Hamata, I'm glad to say I have finally managed to get some small plants of it, and loving them so much, and really only jumped in to get them due to your amazing photos. My plants are still very small, but can see their traits coming out now, still needs a year or two before I see some great pitchers, but again, thank you for sharing these spectacular images of your collection. I'm not sure if you seen some of BE's latest creations, one I'm craving, but don't have the setup for it as yet is - BE-4079  N. Villosa x Robcantleyi, that will be a beauty! Take care and glad to see you still tempting us beginners with these amazing shots from your collection. Do you use coffee or have tried feeding them coffee? Any success?

    Thanks again for keeping us inspired!

  2. Very awesome, thank you for the share! Love the frills on the rafflesiana var. alata, Coloration is beautiful! The peristome on the veitchii x edwardsiana is amazing! Still has a lot of growth to go. How long have you had the veitchii x edwardsiana from the video?

  3. Morning Guillaume_p!

    Hope those seedlings are coming along well! I've only tried once, but this was when I very first started attempting to grow. I'm still terrible, but getting there. I saw this post reciently by Gareth, might be helpful? He did a few tests - 

    His experience might help out, have a look and see if there is anything you can try? Hope it helps! :)

  4. Love it, very unusual! Has the Alien mucus around the peristome :)

    I had on one of my Neps last month a weird undeveloped pitcher  - was on a N.Maxima Wavy Leaf, thought it was pretty interesting, just has the lid. Other pitchers are normal, so most likely a change (Bad one) in my terrarium, will have to keep an eye on the next pitcher :)

  5. I had this when I was trying to grow outside in a very small greenhouse. I changed the lighting, tried LED, CFL, a whole range and the pitches still remained very small. I introduced a Humidifier, and noticed the pitches started to develop and form much faster but still many didn't fully develop, but I could not maintain my humidity without keeping the Greenhouse completely sealed. For me it was a catch 22 as I then had temps inside the greenhouse higher than 35 degrees midday and even with a huge industrial fan, i could not keep my temps at around 20 - 25 Degrees, so I had to try another plan.  Recently changed to a 4-foot terrarium (Standard 4 foot fish tank), and got the humidity much higher with just a standard ultrasonic humidifier, and the pitchers have exploded in growth.Same lighting was used, but for me, my humidity was too low, and temperatures were too high for my plants. You can check, depending on your plants here as to what temps you need from this past post: 

     

  6. An awe inspiring collection Krzysio!! Lovely plants and work in your thread!

    I'm hypnotized by your Robcantleyi x Hamata on page 10, I think it has to be the best cross I’ve seen yet, love the pinkish/red color, and that dark peristome! #Drool!  Where was this one acquired from may I ask, or is this one of your own crosses, or seed grown? I'm very new to Neps, a noob one would say :tongue:, but this weekend will be setting up a terrarium (4-Foot) for Highland Neps (First try!) and cannot wait!
