Strange ! I could see it 5 minutes ago but its blank for me as well.... server problems ? I was going to show it to the wife as well :?

Quick update, my Ordensis is now in a propogator in the conservatory, with much less humidity/water and a max temp inexcess of 35 C on sunny days. The good news is, I've got new growth. Cheers for yor help Regards Paul

whatever it is, wonderful flower and a great photo Bob

ditto the above

Martin, great idea for a thread, I like the display you've setup be interested to see what other members of the forum have done. What is you watering routine ? and what is the rock ? Regards Paul

I am using 50:50 peat:grit sand. what about watering ? I'm not using tray as the humidty is so high is this correct ? and by the look's of it I may need to increase the temperature ! I need more tanks

Guys, what are the ideal growing requirements for D. Ordensis, mine is in decline. Its currently kept between 20-25 C, 75-85 % humidity, about 18cm from 3 flo tubes with a 16 hour photo period. It appears to be drying up, no real new growth. On the flip side my Adelae, Paradoxa and Prolifera seem to be doing great Regards Paul

I'm not surpised, my stock of rainwater is running low at the moment, and thats in the NorthWest just south of the Lake District, where rain is never that far away Regards Paul

Andrew, IMHO, just as mother nature intended, rain water is the best. But RO water should be ok. Regards Paul

Tim, I had and infestation of white fly, cleared up with 3 days underwater. Regards Paul

nice pictures Guillaume

Farmkiddo, you need to add a location to your profile, it will help with any replies given to your question. I live in the North West of UK, and have kept my young N. Alata outside all of this summer, it seem to be doing fine :) There are a few threads on the forum which discuss keeping Nepenthes around the house which you may also be interested in. Regards Paul

I've gone through 2 CPU fans !!! each one lasted less than a week. If you get your external setup sorted, post some pictures I'd be interested in how it works out. Regards Paul

Freebird, looks like D. Capensis put it outside or leave on your windowsill and it will become a monster very robust ! will withstand a nuclear attack. Regards Paul

Cliff, I just keep my Capensis on a windowsill, and it grows fine. Could it not be to high a humidity ? Regards Paul
