Hon Ada. Just seen it and flagged as spammer. Posts removed.

Wow Dennis.

Yes they will.

It's fine. In the wild they use their curling tendrils to grip on to other plants to support them while they climb.

It's doing fine so I'd leave it in the pot it's in and not divide it yet. Although they prefer to be repotted every two to three years for fresh soil so if you can it would benefit from it but it's not crucial this year I think. Also, try to put it in the sun. They like as much sun as they can get. You can't go OTT with it. If you're repotting it and moving it's location to full sun then I would nip out the flower stalks this year.

Is there anyone else that have had problems with this seller recently?

Andy, as one of the individuals who were unlawfully registered on the Charity Commission's website, it may or may not come as a surprise to you to learn that the Commission does not include squatter's rights as part of their regulations. I would recommend you allow Mrs Bell to deal with her issues herself.

Yes that's it, Gary.

Hi Red. Welcome to the forum. Feel free to ask lots of questions. I know how awful it feels to struggle with them initially. I struggled for years, then I found the forum here and absorbed all the information, bought a couple of good books (The Savage Garden by Peter D'Amato and Insect Eaters by Adrian Slack). I found all this information invaluable. And I soon learned how to bring my crash-test dummy of a Venus Flytrap through dormancy and out the other side. Same for a Sarracenia. On another note, it's more than likely that your Nepenthes alata is actually a hybrid called Nepenthes Ventrata. That's the most common one available in the shops and garden centres. Happy growing.

Hi Diki. Welcome to the forum. Depends on the chance of a polar weather front moving in or not. You can always shove it back in the shed if that does happen. Or throw some sacking over it. But if the weather stays as it is then outside is perfectly safe. They're tough enough.

I've had to edit your post to remove the link. Forum rules don't allow ebay auction posts, only 'buy it now' ones.

Admin note: I've merged the two topics relating to this matter together in their entirety. Anyone can post. Forum rules (2004) apply.

Hi. The date hasn't been set yet as we're trying to secure an appropriate venue. The Committee will give members proper notice though once we know. Regards Richard

Now. As soon as gemmae is produced. It doesn't keep very long at all in damp tissue in the fridge.

Looking really good Alexis. I love those high-eave greenhouses. Wish I had thought about that at the time.

Should be fixed now.

I'll look into it tomorrow. This is because the fixes I made have been reversed.

This ought to get rectified today. I'll ask our developer if he took a more recent backup during the changeover (which is still happening). It may be possible to get them back. Changeover issues were a possibility. Sorry.

Thanks Steve. It's nearly there. Seems operational but I haven't had the final 'It's completely finished' email from our developer. He's been working very hard on it though. We've been in communication all afternoon.

Please reply to this statement in order to keep this issue in one topic. I'll lock this post ONLY to facilitate this. Comments, will of cause be available in the above-linked thread.

A few days ago we discovered that the forum hosting company had started charging us for running two servers for CPUK, rather than one. We did not request a second service, other than our backup service. Upon contacting them, they told us which service needed to go and told me to delete it via the client area. I did this as instructed. They told me the wrong one. This unfortunately also included the backups. Upon deleting our active server we then discovered that they had been storing our weekly backups of the system on the same server, rather than on a different one (which is best practice). The only backup that was available to us to be successfully restored was from August. This was when we moved to a faster SSD server. Therefore all content posted onto the forum, along with PMs and new sponsors advertising on the homepage, is as it was on August 5th 2018. All information between that date and Sunday, December 9th 2018 has been irretrievably lost by the hosting company. Needless to say, we are incredibly disappointed (not my actual words) in the service we've been paying for and the impact this has had on our community here. We will be moving to our own web hosting service very shortly. There may be some downtime during this changeover. I'll post when it has moved successfully and we can all work together to rebuild our beloved forum from the rubble as I know our forum membership can, no doubt, rise to the occasion and make CPUK great again! When the Phoenix has risen from the ashes, we ask that anyone who has recently posted plants AND SEED for sale or exchange to please list these here again. This would benefit many people. If you registered after August 5th you will need to reregister again. If you have just registered (or done it again) I will send out the validation emails when the transfer is complete. We are so sorry for all the inconvenience caused to all affected by this issue. Yours sincerely Richard Bunn CPUK Forum Webmaster The Carnivorous Plant Society www.thecps.org.uk
