By chance I found this linked on Wikipedia. In 2006 there were only few cp pictures online and Denis Barthel who is a cp enthusiast and employee at the German Wikimedia society asked for pictures. I donated some under free license so that everyone may use them also for commercial projects...and now its a micronesian postage stamp!

Hi Olivier, thanks for the kind words! All my rosetted tuberous species do late season runner stolons. In both pots the old plants died or began to die and at the same time second plants emerged. This is normal in my conditions. Did you never see such runners?
Today I experienced fast germination just like U. nelumbifolia does:
My fresh sown Capsicum annum (Chili) seeds germinated in two hours!
And they have been in dry condition for some weeks before...
Thanks!
Sean, very probably! ;) Not all of them were dormant, most are growing then and there just dying back and popping out again. They seem to like my conditions, I gave away around 20 plants in the last two years all originating from one tuber.
Very nice setup!!!
I remembered this thread when I found an ebay auction recently.
An aquatic plants dealer sells this plant for aquarium enthusiasts
as "new lawn in the foreground"...

What other plants do you grow inside the tank? Are the shrimps easy
to look after? I have some spare tanks + lights... ;)
For the last years I had covers with lights on these terrariums as they were inside on a windowsill. The new setup outside is fresh and I did not cover anything up yet. Most of the Nepenthes are small and grow near the wet moss on top of the pots. The larger ones are hybrids or easy growers so I hope to let it as it is...until the winter approaches again.
Here are two of my favourite pics which can be used as desktop background. Perhaps someone likes them! :)
