  1. Hello Do you find the growing medium makes much difference for Nepenthes cuttings? Would there be much difference in strike rate if I used pure sphagnum moss or alternatively sphagnum moss mixed with Perlite with perhaps 50 percent of each or if I used sphagnum based peat mixed with Perlite with 50 percent of each? Also, does it matter much what the weather is like when I take the cuttings? I am concerned that the plants may be more stressed during hot dry weather and it may be best to wait until it is cooler and overcast with more humidity. Would it increase the chances of them striking if I took them in cooler, overcast and humid conditions or is it all right in hot and dry weather if I keep the cuttings I took misted and in water? Currently we are in spring in Northern Australia on the Atherton Tableland near Cairns where daytime temperatures rise to about 30 degrees Celsius when the humidity is about 30%. Once I have taken the cuttings I will put them in a greenhouse with over 50% shade where there is an automatic misting system that regularly mists the foliage. Regards Richard.
  2. Hello :) New here. Hope this forum isn't as dead as a few others I'm somewhat in a doubt. This Nepenthes was sold under "Rebecca Soper". But when looking at the images on the net, R. Soper has rather dark pitchers, unlike the one this plant has produced? The pitcher in the pic is almost 1 month old. I thought it'll change over time to a darker color. Can I get a confirmation on R. Soper? Or else what species could this be? BTW- I could also use some help on identifying this plant below. I bought it in a carnivorous mix without a specific name. At least it would be nice to know if it's a high or lowland so I now how to treat the plant. Thank you very much
  3. Hello Community! Since a few month I grow a Nepenthes lowii 'Mt. Kinabalu'. I will show you every month a few pictures of my plant. http://forum.carnivoren.org/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=50903 http://forum.carnivoren.org/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=50904 I hope you like them Sorry for my not so good translation. -Henrik-
  4. Hey all, Its been over 2 years since my last post and I thought I would ask you again for a little help and advice.. As an update to my original post http://www.cpukforum...wtopic=41961= ALL THE PLANTS ARE THRIVING LIKE MAD. So again i thank you all for your help in getting me up and running and into the CP world. There is one question i have about my current plants though..... The nepenthes have had seed/flower pods on now for nearly 9months... with no sign of opening or flowering or anything... How long do they usually take??? what can I do to either speed them up or call it a day? Basically before i chop them off i wanted to ask ; A) what are they? seeds or flowers B) is it detrimental to the plant that i leave them/cut them off? Here are some images to show what i mean. Yes this is indeed the same baby plant that was in my original post but all grown up :) Thanks again for any and all help. Karl
  5. So a month or so agon I was on holiday down in cornwall with my Girlfriend and naturally I just had to pay the eden project a visit, (a great day out for both of us btw) anyway, whilst in the tropical biome I happened across these little beauties..... and something a little different.... I don't know why many of the pitchers had the lids removed but I hope you enjoyed the pics anyway
  6. As the title suggests where do you guys buy your nep seeds from, i'm looking for a place that sells fresh viable seeds to the UK for future purchases?
  7. this is my N. 'rebecca soper' which has been growing very well for the past three months or so since I got it, if not pitchering, producing but a single one for me. However, whilst having a closer inspection of the pot I notices that it's sent up not one but two new shoots! (the two on the outside of the 4 now growing the larger one: and the newest one: now, my question really is what the hell should I do about this? having 4 seperate plants in a pot just shy of 4" can't be good for the health of them all, so how would I go about dividing them all up? (should I need to go down that route)
  8. Does anyone have Nepenthes Attenboroughii seeds, there is nothing online and i do not know where to find them. Thanks in advance!
  9. Here is a picture of my young Nepenthes burbidgeae x edwardsiana, the lid has discoloured somewhat after re-potting (was reluctant to do it but it was necessary) and looks a bit dried up, otherwise the plant looks fine but this happened in the space of 2 days. It is currently its only mature pitcher but has atleast 2 more on the way. I'd just like either reassurance that my plant wont die or advice of anything i can do to help it of it needs it. http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r791/Tom_Currell/IMG_00461_zps0fedafc0.jpg
  10. Hi :) I have tried searching for info on here that might help me out but to little avail. Perhaps if I have missed something glaringly obvious, somebody may point me in the direction of an existing thread that I can read though, but in the meantime, here goes! I got back into keeping carnivorous plants just over a year ago and now that I have the time and space to do a better job of it, it's gone a little way beyond a few plants kept on a windowsill. I have a cold frame greenhouse that I keep most of my plants in year round, with the exception of some of the more delicate ones I have obtained recently that I will treat accordingly when the time comes. Anyway, amongst those that I have out there are some yearling seedlings- both vft's and cobra lilies. They were out over winter and survived just fine but they are so very slow growing, I am wondering if they may do better if I were to bring them inside and put them under my T5 grow light? I just bought it for other plants but I would like to use it for my carnivores if it will be of benefit to them. I also have a bunch of sarras, some more Darlingtonia and a new lot of giant vft seeds that I sowed a little while back which are now beginning to show (well, not the vft's, it's a little soon for them yet I think). Would they be happier in more stable temperature/light conditions do you think? Everything else that has been kept outside in the little greenhouse is doing really well but I am still very new to growing from seed so if anyone has any advice regarding what I could do to give these seeds/seedlings a stronger start, that would be great :) For information's sake, the seedlings are all about 1.5cm across, the darlingtonia each have a bout 3-5 little tiny traps and the vft's a few more and the new lot of sarra/darlingtonia seeds that have germinated started showing maybe a week or two ago. They are all in appropriate carnivorous plant mix compost with no moss at this stage. Also, I have one small nepenthes hybrid (no idea what... it was a garden centre gift from someone) that was in the cold frame but I have since brought it inside after reading more about their care. It gets wonderfully warm and humid on sunny days but I fear it might get a bit too cold for it at night out there. I don't have many bright windowsills in my house that are not in direct sunlight. Where would you suggest I keep this plant that it may thrive? I have a modified shelf in the cold frame that blocks direct sunlight but is still bright but I just don't know if it's a good idea to put it back outside at the moment! Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

    better view of the nepenthes burbidgeae x edwardsiana.
  13. From the album: My Plants

    still a young plant but has one nicely established pitcher and a few more coming through.
  14. I'm wondering which other nepenthes species, other than those I'm already growing will do well outside a terranium in my room? I get an average temperature of about 23oC in the day with a drop to about 18/19oC at night. Humidity floats between 32% and 50% but is usually steady in the low 40's. I already have a ventricosa which is handling it pretty well but is really still settling in, two N. X Ventratas which are loving it, an N x Rebbecca soper which is, as you'd expect for such a vigorous hybrid, growing well. However I'd love to add some more to my collection at some point. Whilst I'm here, I also have a sanguinea that has been struggling for about a month now to acclimate it's self. Any tips for that while I'm here?
  15. Hello, Today I finally had chance to go through some of my more then 9000 photos I took. I had such a wonderful time on the tour and got to reconnect and meet some great people. I big thanks goes out to Alastair for showing us such a great time. I have added over 500 Photos from my trip here http://www.leilanine...ctober-2012.htm Mt.

  16. Hello! I had the chance to visit the region of Kuching, Sarawak on Borneo. Magic! My idea was to see some lowland Nepenthes, and I can tell you I wasn't disappointed at all! I went in the Bako National Parc, where proboscis monkeys and other animals were waiting for me. But my actual targets were, of course, the few Nepenthes species that are growing there. They are quite common ones, but I really think they were fantastic. I re-discovered Nepenthes rafflesiana. The variability between the individuals is stunning. See by yourself: The same, closer. Fabulous peristome! One of my favorite Nep being ampullaria, you can't imagine how excited I was when I found many of them. Some of them even climbed up to more than 10m! And even upper pitchers: And a few other species: N. gracilis More N. gracilis... A lot more, actually! N. albomarginata N. hirsuta Population of N. reinwardtiana on the sea side (only a few meter from the sea) Who said that Nep and Droseras needs different growing conditions? Drosera spatulata var. bakoensis + N. gracilis. Some like to live dangerously... But it was so hot that I quite envied this one. After Bako, I went to Bau to see N. northiana. Great place, and funny to see them hanging to the cliffs. I wanted to see them "face-to-face", but unfortunately I couldn't find them. And the guides who could show me them closer asked for about 125 to 250 euros! For a 30km half-a-day trip, it's REALLY too expensive! Especially when you know the cost of living there. For example, big bowl of soup costs about 0.8 euro... The plant is on the top. Zoom: I have to show you at least one picture of a proboscis monkey (Bako) and one of an orang-outang (Semenggoh), since I was visiting their home. Very impressive! For your information, food is simply excellent and costs nothing. I even tried the famous chicken feet that chinese people like so much. Well... let's say that it's not really my taste...
  17. Dear all, For those who are interested, I've uploaded images from the November-December expedition to Palawan and Borneo. Highlights include a return visit to Thumb Peak, in the Iwahig Prison & Penal Colony, as well as Mount Victoria and an excursion to see Nepenthes bicalcarata in a lowland peat swamp. Once again, some new orchid taxa were identified, one a saprophyte and the other a remarkable epiphyte. Featured plants include (among others): Nepenthes deaniana Nepenthes philippinensis Nepenthes attenboroughii Nepenthes reinwardtiana Nepenthes fusca Nepenthes macrovulgaris Nepenthes gracilis Nepenthes mirabilis Nepenthes stenophylla Nepenthes burbidgeae Nepenthes rajah Nepenthes villosa (Tambuyukon form) Drosera ultramafica You can view the entire album on Facebook. Please let me know should you encounter any problems viewing the album, or if you have any questions about the trip or plants encountered. Happy Christmas! Alastair.
  18. Dear all, For those who are interested, I've uploaded a small selection of my own photographs from the recent Redfern expedition to Palawan and Borneo to Facebook; you shouldn't need to be a FB friend or member to view the images. You can view the album here. Whilst fairly difficult owing to the number of peaks attempted in the time available, the expedition was a great success and members were able to view all the species they had hoped to see, along with a few bonuses that included Nepenthes we had not planned on encountering, some new orchid taxa and two species of Rafflesia. With respect, I will not add people I do not know as friends on Facebook, so please do not take it personally if I do not acknowledge a random request; I use the service for friends and family only. Please let me know should you encounter any problems viewing the album. Best wishes, Alastair.
  19. Hello, I received a few days ago an order of Nepenthes repotted and installed directly in the greenhouse at their reception. Here is a picture of a nep the date of receipt: And here is a picture several days after potting: I ask myself: why the urn she died so quickly? 2 Assumptions: - The urn dies after she was subjected to stress mailings, repotting, new climate - The radiator just below the dry urns, or plays a devastating role for NEP was located near Do you have an idea of the problem?
  20. Hi there! Here you have a ton of pictures of my plants. This year they are doing well in general, in spite of the late waking up because of the cold spring. Well, I don´t have any garden, nor a greenhouse, so my plants depends on the wishes of the weather, so I can´t have plants as beautifull as most of you, but this year we had a nice summer and plants have coloured up properly! The plants displayed in this pictures are outside all year round. Sorry, there are no particular order in the pictures. All species are mixed together, the picturs don´t follow any special order. Feel free of asking whatever you want to know about my growing conditions or whatever! Plants are all labelled, but Sphagnum has overgrown the labels and you can´t barely see them. I have to trim it of. Click on the pictures to enlarge them!! JULY To be continued!

  22. Hi there i have a new nepenthes but im not 100% what it is . I usually buy small and grow on but this it one of those massive ones from the garden centres that are in a tiny hanging baskets with no drainage on. First thing i did was drill drainage holes in the bottom, then pruned the dead cups and leaves off (i got it for £5 for this reason ) I am thinking of repotting this or should i wait until the end of winter also if i do re pot am i best using bark and spagnum or something else? thanks in advance Robert
