Giveaway: who wants to grow some lowland Nepenthes?

Hello terraforumers,

I have a tray full of rooted Nepenthes gracilis cuttings and I'm looking to give some away. These were taken from plants I grew from seed several years ago. One is an all green form, another is heavily red speckled and the third has fuzzy, yellowish pitchers. Two males, one female. Since the cuttings aren't currently pitchering it is impossible to tell which is which.

The rules are as follows:

-USA only
-Pick a number between 1 and 20 (I don't expect this giveaway will have many entries, but if the first 20 slots fill up feel free to continue on to 30).
-On Thursday afternoon/evening I will hold the drawing.
-I will then contact the three winning numbers with my paypal address.
-Winners must send me $5 paypal by Sunday night. The plants will be shipped out Monday.
-Each winner will receive two cuttings. With some luck you will end up with different varieties.

Since I will have some cuttings left over, I'm also open to trades for other rooted lowland or lowland-tolerant Nepenthes cuttings.

Would you mind saying how tall the cuttings are?
 
Great giveaway, not entering because i'm saving what little space I have left for my ampullaria collection, but great looking cuttings! Very generous of you.

This would be my first nepenthes so if it a difficult one to grow ill remove my name, i would much rather it go to some one with a better chance of it surviving. I do have a larger terrarium that matches lowland conditions pretty well. and feedback would be appreciated

wouldn't you know it....I am at capacity for my lowland neps and a lowland nep giveaway comes to pass! Nice looking plants btw.

This would be my first nepenthes so if it a difficult one to grow ill remove my name, i would much rather it go to some one with a better chance of it surviving. I do have a larger terrarium that matches lowland conditions pretty well. and feedback would be appreciated

easy to grow but like any lowlander will get big in time(but it will not happen overnight) but I say go for it to get the experience. they are fairly tolerant of temps, don't need alot of light like other neps but will not gracefully handle a significant loss of humidity.

They are around 6 to 8 inches tall.

Nepenthes gracilis is one of the more easy growing lowlanders. It tends to grow fast though so you will probably have to trim it often to keep it from out growing your terrarium space.
