Cool N. bicalcarata pic

(Click the photo for full-size)


The nectar is dripping down, making it look like a cobra poised to strike, venom dripping down its fangs...

On Edit: Whoops, can a mod please move to the Nepenthes forum?
 
I love it! My two N. bicalcaratas are getting ready to put out their first pitchers. Hopefully mine will look that good someday.
 
Moved!

Keep it warm (80-90*f days and 70+*F nights) in bright lighting (mine grow under 400w Metal halide lighting) with plenty of water flushes through the soil and it'll do this all the time and grow like gangbusters!
 
Niiice! Feelin' lucky, punk?

Is an infered light alrite to raise the temp? Im using one and the pitchers hav been drying out a little. I dont know if its just coincedence since its only 1 or 2 plants or the infered lite is killing them. Wat do u think?
 
CF try to use a ceramic heater. at only 5-10$ you can heat a terrarium 10-15 degrees warmer.

nice!!! Ur sooooo lucky my plant doesnt even come in comparecence. (I think thats how u spell it...) Mine was a 4" plant that hardly had a pitcher on it. Also, are infered lites ok for nepenthes? Im using one over it's head to raise temps. Thats how I got the temps into the mid-80's. Thanks!
