Nice! It looks like the rearranging made everything look really tidy. Also, the weak have been thinned out and now those bad boys can look forward to the season being nicer to them. :)

Liz: thanks :-D

Dex: Hmm... true. Let the survivors thrive! :laaa:

Here's some more survivors... I didn't take a picture of it but I think the eustachya cross is on its last legs :crap:. ...anyway:

petiolata pitcher opened up

D.graomogolensis is still going strong - 3 weeks ago it was 40's at night. Yesterday it was 90 during the day... the thing is made of steel.

D.ordensis... it had some strange mold or something so I sprinkled cinnamon on it... so it looks reaaaally weird. It's still asleep though..

N.clipeata clone U is working on a beastly new pitcher to compete with the rafflesiana stealing the show

and here's that whole Nep tank - the shorty in the middle is N.hamiguitanensis (sorry about my finger in the picture :lol:)

@thez: get ready to wet it up when ordensis starts developing traps. when the traps start developing, that's when the plant is waking up. great work with everything!

I am quite jealous that you somehow are getting U. nelumbifolia to flower so well. I was just going through photofinder and I realized why you are so crazy about hamiguitanensis it sure is pretty. :)

Oooh, everything is looking great Zu, especially those dews! :love:
 
  • #667
Thanks :grin:

Dex: hami is divine :love: :hail:

Nice. That raff looks great. Wish mine would put out a pitcher.
 
  • #669
Wonderful collection.
 
  • #671
Thanks!!

dionae: mine always died til I put them in that terra. It's unheated but the bulb heats it to 80s-ish during the day, so I can't imagine given the small amount of mesh for air exchange with the outside world that it would get too far below 70 at night (I have no idea though); I assume the humidity thus is ridiculously high, and it's a 95watt equiv (I think.. 90-something) cfl daylight bulb that turns on at 0600 and off at 2100.

Very nice thez! I feel your little lid pain, because mine has been doing the same :(

Some of my plants have had the same issue. I've wondered if it might be caused by fertilizing them, because it seemed to happen to my plants after I put osmocote in thier pitchers. What are other people's experience?

Very nice Z. Love the petiolaris complex dews. Pings are looking great!

I really hope someone's got a peltata at the ICPS conference. Really digging those.
