Duplicate post - sorry

Indeed, a great shame. The bids are already going up

Cheers Greg, I'm going to leave them in with the highland nepenthes, the consensus seems to be they would appreciate the extra warmth, and I have lights in there too over winter. What actual soil mix do you use? Thanks, Dave

After many many years, I finally got the opportunity to get to an Open day. Thank you Mike, it was great to meet at last and see so many aspirational plants. Topped off by mentioning how impressed I was by willisii x minor giant, only to have one conjoured out from the back of a sales bench. Wonderful. Thanks again, Dave

I was lucky enough at Mike's open day this weekend to pick up a couple of strong Byblis gigantea seedlings from Greg Allen. I am sure I am not the first to realise I should have asked more questions at the time. It's clear it likes a well drained medium (peat/sand & perlite - Greg also said he used a little loam) and damp but not wet while growing, and pretty much dry overwinter, rather like Drosophyllum, I guess. However, what I'm not so clear about is temperature and humidity and seasonality. I have a highland nepenthes greenhouse - 80%+ humidity maintained by foggers, 13 to 25 degree extremes. I believe Byblis like a decent temperature and the B.gigantea might do well in there, but on the other hand I have also heard they are prone to rot and don't like excessive humidity. I also have a sarracenia greenhouse, 5 degrees over winter and open door at this time of year. That might suit better, but maybe be too cold? I suppose a third option is windowsill, for overwintering at least? So, I would appreciate any advice as to what kind of temperature and humidity conditions suit this species, both while actively growing and also when dormant. Many Thanks, Dave

Hydrofoggers are absolutely the way to go if you can afford them. I would not be without my two

Is King of Spades the same species - i.e. is the BE-3307 cross a hybrid or the new species? Dave

Sounds like a wonderful idea - a triple incentive is extremely enticing to justify 'time out' from family life to get about

I thought Stuart had previously described H.neblinae var parva as the 'real' (i.e. type?) neblinae. Now it is it's own species, I wonder what is now considered the type Dave
