This is sort of a redo of a post I had from about a month ago:
http://www.terraforums.com/forums/s...panion-Offers-Division-of-Self?highlight=kahl
I showed a friend who does not grow Nepenthes a photo of Nepenthes bicalcarata and he told me he needs to grow that species. This is someone with a greenhouse who does extremely well with plants, so he's not a novice.
So I was earlier looking for hybrids of N. bicalcarata that might have some tolerance of cooler growing conditions. Now I am looking for the species. Ideally it would be nice to get a cutting enough for at least 2 propagation attempts. I typically cut things into the smallest pieces possible, and generally have good luck with cuttings.
In exchange I can offer the Dracula vampira division of the previous post. That cutting was in doubt for a little while, when it aborted its one new growth. It's been about a month, and it signaled its vigor by putting out two new (still tiny) growths, one at the site of the aborted one.
Admittedly, these may be hard to see, and if someone needs a better photo I can attempt it. My usual camera is in the shop...
The whole Dracula division: It did drop an older leaf that was already senescent when the division was taken:
If Draculas aren't your thing (or sufficient on its own), or if you don't have the cool growing conditions necessary for them, I have plenty of other things: many cool-growing, some warm growing. Just not much in the way of CPs (with the possible exception of N. burkei x truncata.) I have tons of Passifloras, Begonias, etc. Clematis akoensis is a particularly stunning and impossible to find one I have. And plenty of others.
