I was thinking about getting one of their robcantleyi hybrids, I look forward to seeing how yours turns out! Very nice Burb and good luck with the hamata!

tom i can say that the densiflora x robcantleyi is now it has finally pitchered one of my favs,the pitcher to leaf size ratio is like nothing i have seen on any other nep i grow,only just got the campanulata x cantleyi so we will see

They have some interesting stuff.
I'm a big fan of boschiana, even though it gets huge! I did not know it could grow to a meter wide when I got mine. But the shape and colors are too awesome to pass up.

Well grown plants! You clearly have a handle on the growing requirements of a wide range of genera, kudos!

thanks paul my neps do not grow as quick as most other peoples ,as i am growing all of them as house plants with t5 lighting but they are growing and give me alot of pleasure,i am very pleased with the hamata as it has doubled in size since i got it about two months ago seems to be growing quicker than just about any other nep i have ,which is a good thing as it is probably the most expensive,i put off trying hamata because for some reason i thought i would not be able to grow it,hope i have not just cursed the little guy

N. robcantleyi x campanulata is going to look insane!
 
  • #49
Your plants look very nice! Love the N. robcantleyi :drool:
 
  • #50
thank you both (i too think the robcantleyi looks cool,so pleased with it)and yes wireman could not believe my luck with the basal,but i wanted to remove it so the main plant grew well,i know some think basals do not sap the main plant but i do and whats done is done:p
