Capensis

Capensis

Got some new neps :D 3/4 were received (the spectabilis x aristo looked a little bad, said the owner, so he will ship me one once he gets more of them). The plants I got were originally supposed to be 3-6", but are way bigger xD.
Sanguinea. Little disappointed with this one, seeing that the growth tip broke off, exposing the premature leaf. 10"

If anyone figures out the order I have these, I'll give you a cookie :3 (Hint: the cut off end are two frozen waterbottles. The thing in the red cup are capensis cuttings ;)):

Love the bongso. That's what mine should look like, if it would ever get some life to it. I'm tempted to toss it and just order a new one. It grows so darn slow - one leaf every 2 months or so if that.

But yours is great. Enjoy your plants!
 
yeah they all look a little dry o_o and a bit on the etiolated side. but either way, once they bounce back, they will be really nice plants, especially bongso
 
I see your N.sanguinea got a broken growth tip mine got a broken tip and it grew just fine I noticed growth I think two to three weeks later and now it's big made one 5inch pitcher and another forming so I'm sure yours will pull through like mine.
Here's the link to it my N.sanguinea before and after pictures are the first set I hope that helps you.. =)
My collection

It does look a bit dry or something that's how some of my N.velvet leaves looked like after my brother's wedding it's too bad the persona I had take care of it didn't water it as much as it was needed though after a few weeks under my care again it's leaves looked normal and healthy I hope it pulls through for you.

Very nice pitchers on that N.bongso and nice N. ramispina can't wait to see it pitcher congratulations.. :boogie:
 
The sanguinea looks like it's being affected by changes in humidity. It will cause the leaves to wrinkle and look 'dry' like that. I'd recommend putting a clear bag over it and slowly opening a hole in the top over a period of weeks. I didn't do that with the green amp that I have and it started out exactly like your sanguinea looks; it's now the ugliest Nep I own lol.

Just my 2 cents,
Crystal
 
i acclimated my seedgrown hamata and my tentaculata to my growrack over a period of a week....but since your going for your windowsill, you should go for a couple of weeks like crissy said
 
Worth a try Cap. Just don't let the sun shine directly on it; don't want a baked Nep ;). You could always let it go too and work things out on its own, it might recover better than mine did.

Unfortunately, no. The only bags that can cover it are Wal-Mart bags and such, but they aren't clear and block out the light.
