Nepenthesis Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Here's some pictures of my Harbor Freight 6x8 greenhouse filled with Nepenthes... Some pictures are current, but none are too far behind November, 2013. The greenhouse in November... Nepenthes vogelii with massive leaf jumps... Spectabilis x talangensis... Mess of vines and leaves in the back of the greenhouse two months ago... Since then, they've gotten even more unbearable. Time to take cuttings soon! Spathulata x ovata opening a pitcher... Lowii x spectabilis... Lowii x campanulata... Ventricosa x dubia... Bongso 'robusta'... Less than 1/4 of my Sphagnum collection... About half of the Sphagnum collection... (I have issues ok) Some pods that split open and rained seeds for a bit before I harvested 80% of them and sowed them. Hoping to get lots of babies! I probably got upwards of 1000 seeds, the pods were big and the seeds were super tiny... Tour of my greenhouse focusing on my best-looking Nepenthes this season (from early January 2014)... Thanks for looking, I'll update this topic with photos as significant progress is made. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Cornish Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Great looking Neps and greenhouse. That red sphagnum is a winner as well. Regards Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North West Neps Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 As soon as i seen the first photo, i instantly recognised the greenhouse from your Youtube vids. Nice collection, and welcome to CPUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Very nice! Especially Lowii x Spectabilis There is a big market for Nep seeds!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepenthesis Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Very nice! Especially Lowii x Spectabilis There is a big market for Nep seeds!!! I made a video of sowing the seeds I harvested. I couldn't sell/trade these because I don't know if they're viable, it's a 4-species hybrid so I'm not sure how it would work out. Might do a giveaway or something on my YouTube when the next pods open up, depending on seed size, quantity and quality. Nice! Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthesis Posted January 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 I don't usually take pictures, I find video better -- so here's a video I uploaded today that shows my new orchids. I bought a few Paphiopedliums and Phragmipediums (the flowers look like Nepenthes in a way) and I've only had them these past few weeks. One is about to flower and the others may flower this spring! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nepenthes Lowii Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 OMG!! love your collection!!! I only have 3 plants. But, I hope my Nepenthes Vogelii gets like that in the near future. Lastly, can anybody tell me how to put photos a post without "Attached Thumbnails" Have a nice day!!! PS: Love your videos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthesis Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Good job! Nice Neps jungle! Thanks! :) OMG!! love your collection!!! I only have 3 plants. But, I hope my Nepenthes Vogelii gets like that in the near future. Lastly, can anybody tell me how to put photos a post without "Attached Thumbnails" Have a nice day!!! PS: Love your videos Yeah, it definitely will in the near future. Mine randomly started vining like that. When I go it, it was 3" across. That was Spring of 2012. It's a fast grower once it gets going! :) Go to http://tinypic.com/ You can upload without an account, or you can make an account and it will save every one of the photos you upload. I've been using it since about 2009 and it is very good. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corky Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 just wanted to say how great your collection and setup looks,i have followed your progress on terraforums and its pretty cool how far you've come in the last couple of years,keep up the good work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabgabinou Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Corky is right ! Your collection is just awesome. Everything in your perfect GreenHouse looking healthy ! Really good job ! I want to try to produce my own sphagnum, also I wondered if you use a special media in your vats to grow sphagnum, or just put the sphagnum and add some water ? I follow also your progress on terra forum, really good job ! :) Gabin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatchGreyes Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 How do you find your N. ventricosa x dubia grows? I'm considering getting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthesis Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 How do you find your N. ventricosa x dubia grows? I'm considering getting one. Really fast and easy... Mine is making uppers almost. Not very needy. It often drys out and it is planted in bark (that's how I bought it)... So yeah, definitely get one. Just as easy as other Nepenthes. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabgabinou Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Fertilize was an interesting part, I also use MAXSEA since only few month, but I don't see so much changes on my nepenthes. I'm not regular at all when I fertilize them, maybe I should do... Edited February 16, 2014 by gabgabinou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Green Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Yep, A nice collection of well grown plants But, are you sure you have the right name with this plant? I don't see any evidence of talangensis in it. Spectabilis x talangensis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthesis Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Yep, A nice collection of well grown plants But, are you sure you have the right name with this plant? I don't see any evidence of talangensis in it. Yes, I'm sure. Those are upper pitchers, and it looks very much like talangensis in the shaping of the pitcher. It's spectabilis x talangensis, and I think talangensis is pretty recessive in most hybrids. At least the ones I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Green Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Got any pic's of it's lowers. All the talangensis hybrids I have, show clear signs of talang. Perhaps it's just the uppers it's gone from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Evans Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Like N. albomarginata, N. spectabilis seems to dominate it's hybrids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
