I took these pics while the plants were out being watered today.

enjoy

These basal shoots are no more than 6 months old.

Think the gracilis needs pruning?

Looking good. I love large Nepenthes. Those small cuttings just feel unnatural

I agree - even though the upper pitchers on some species are not as large or as spectacular as the lowers, it's nice to let them do what they do and vine. My neighbour had no idea the sort of plants I grew until one of my N. maxima grew over the brick fence and onto her side of the garden. She was most intrigued.

What would be REALLY cool would be to put the lights INSIDE each pitcher....The would rule.

Great pics. It's nice to see the ampullaria starting to put out some basal shoots, something it never did for me. The raff teeth are starting to fill out nicely, too.

The gracilis actually lays horizontal in the tank. I prop it up like that for pics and watering. It has another foot or so to go before it reaches the end of the tank. When that time comes I'll probably do some cuttings.
