Stefan P.

I wanted to call the thread ´Triple Traps´but as you can see there are and will be no traps... Just as Ivo experienced in this Thread, it now happened to one of my VFTs also.

No! no! Stefan, you won´t buy any more Nepenthes until next year! You will first try to keep the ones you already got alive! Simon, gorgeous plants, indeed!!

But if I understand it right, they merely sell the seeds which one can sow inside the also delivered plastic terrarium?

Thanks Stephen! On the internet they recommend to get rid of them as soon as possible, so the little fella enjoyed a breathtaking water thrillride down the tubes... (I hope it didn´t spread too many spores until I noticed it)

Hello everyone! Maybe someone could help me and identify this little (about 2,5 cm/ 1 inch tall) visitor? It´s amazing, how fast it grew. Yesterday it wasn´t there... I´m wondering, what kind of mushroom it could be?

I solely posted the link. All the credit is due to Stephen (gardenofeden) for making and sharing his superb photo guide! =D>

Now that two people recommend the same thread, you can be sure you won´t be disappointed!

>click me!<

I really don´t know for sure, but it looks very similar to the "Vapourer Moth" to me (it´s hard to tell because your photo doesn´t show it from the side). But it´s only a guess! I´m sorry this was not very helpful, was it? :? Here are a few pics and docs I found: http://www.javajane.co.uk/Hairy/slides/the_vapourer.html http://www.javajane.co.uk/Hairy/slides/vapourer_moth2.html http://www.plantpress.com/wildlife/o316-vapourermoth.php http://www.ashtonunderhill.org.uk/document...allifecycle.doc

So it seems, we have a 50/50 situation (at the moment). Very interesting! Thanks for your participation so far!! Aiden, can we take that as a ´maybe´ then?

I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Lüdenscheid (´City Of Light´) 8) Germany @Aiden: Even though I really regret it, the German counter still should be 13 (to be honest), ´cause you may have counted one of my fellow citizens twice... . . . :-k But..., if you really counted him twice, then you may also have forgotten to count another one...? :-k . . . So, to avoid inconvenient recalculations... let´s say 14! It's fine with me.

The plants shown in both threads really look very nice! Unfortunately the (beautiful) pics are a little small. Wirklich schöne Pflanzen! :thumleft:

Introducing: VFT ´back-stabbing´ Clone #666: :haha2: :haha:

Opinions whether to apply rooting hormones to cp-cuttings or not seem to differ a lot both on the internet and specialist literature. I´ve noticed that the topic also came up several times in this forum during the past few years and views differed as well. Now I´m wondering what the majority opinion/experience on using e.g. ´Rhizopon AA´ or ´B´, ´Clonex-Gel´, etc. would be at present? Thank you very much for participating!
