manders Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Couple of weeks i found 'Bill Baily' and 'suki', today i found 'Lady Luck'. Well who can resist for 4£! Has anyone seen any other types for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picavorus Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) I picked up Lady Luck, Bill Bailey and Suki yesterday, I couldn't resist but they only had these three. The Borneo exotics site http://www.borneoexotics.com says that Susan and Binky are also done in the Biodome range, but I've not seen them yet. Have people left them in their domes or potted them up?

Jaicen Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Mine are in domes, they seem happy so far and one is on my work windowsill which came along at a fortuitous time if you've read my thread! Do be careful of putting them in full sun without shading. My wife 'helpfully' put them out in the sun one day for me, resulting in the loss of pretty much all the leaves on the specimens she put out.

Loakesy Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) I think they're from Borneo Exotics. Well done for supporting Rob Cantley! https://www.facebook.com/Bio-Dome-Plants-from-Borneo-Exotics-293092820799520/?pnref=story Edited July 11, 2016 by Loakesy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yossu Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 What kind of Asda was this? I guess it was one of the massive ones with a garden centre? Have to go looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picavorus Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I think they're from Borneo Exotics. Well done for supporting Rob Cantley! They are from Borneo Exotics I've re-potted mine today, as the pitchers were getting crushed against the dome and plastic plate type thing in their domes. The plants have really spread out in their new pots and look nice and healthy young plants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picavorus Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 What kind of Asda was this? I guess it was one of the massive ones with a garden centre? Have to go looking! I got them at the Trafford Park store, but worth a look in other stores. Heres the list of stores on Borneo exotics website http://www.borneoexotics.com/bio-domes/asda_stores.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 They're in most of the stores that carry some houseplants. In my local Asda's they've been flying off the shelves. So far it seems that 'Suki' is more abundant as Lady Luck and Bill Bailey are harder to find. I bought two of each 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yossu Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Thanks to both of you. I'll give a couple of local stores a ring and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manders Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Our local asda has mostly Bill Baileys, only one lady luck and a few suki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're desperate I'm sure you could get some shipped over privately from a forum member? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobskie Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I am to have to check my local one it's on the list, been wanting a nep for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yossu Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 I am to have to check my local one it's on the list, been wanting a nep for a while. The best of British. I've been ringing around, and haven't found anywhere that's got any left. A few of the bigger places said they'd had some, but they were long since sold out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobskie Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Shame I didn't see this earlier then, I will have a look tomorrow anyway and fingers crossed they have a couple left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobskie Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I managed to find some! First I looked in my local shop and they had a few Suki's, I then decided to have a look in another Asda nearby and got myself a Bill Bailey. No lady luck but I'm very happy with my two new nepenthes. I am wondering if I should keep it in the dome or repot and also if I should put it onto the windowsill straight away or if I should slowly introduce it to sunlight. Thanks for the heads up on these!

Yossu Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Well done! Can I be cheeky and ask if you would be willing to get me some and post them to me? Don't want to put you out, but I'd love to get one of whichever they have. As for repotting, they recommend to leave them in the domes until they get too big. Worth reading their web site, and watch the videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I re-potted mine straight away as the pitchers were getting crushed against the dome and plate thing, and they seem to be thriving on the kitchen windowsill Edited July 19, 2016 by Picavorus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnivine Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I picked up a Bill Bailey and a Suki. I never have any luck with Neps so just got 2 - see how they get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
