Getting There...
Ok, this is my first attempt to add pictures into a post, so let;s see if I can figure this out

Some different nep seedlings...I have the parentage written down at school

N. spectabilis x talangensis hopefully putting out its first new pitcher in my care. The one is came with was gorgeous!

One of 3 Seedgrown N. albo. put out the first pitcher since in my care. All three seem to be flourishing though, very excited to watch these grow up!

Hope you all enjoy them, I'l ltry to throw up some of the rest of my plants soon enough!
 
Uh-oh, wait until Thez sees those lavendar pots....
 
Very nice. I still need to get off my duff and find a spec x talangensis.
 
Nice seedlings. Your neps look healthy!
 
Nice! Glad to see someone else with spectabilis x talangensis.
 
A few more pictures!
The spectabilis x talangensis pitcher that developed shortly after I received it!

N. trichocarpa. It hasn't pitchered in my care yet, but it really starting to look healthy and get some size to it.

Now I need some help. the next two are an N. albo. and an N. sibuyanensis x copelandii...I just didn't put tags on them am have forgotten which is which...any help?

really like the spec talang,i am with you mass need one
 
Very nice!
The unidentifieds are

Nepenthes sibuyanensis x copelandii
Nepenthes albomarginata

respectively. I know I am right because I used to own both of these plants, the sib x cope has glabrous, shiny leaves, and albomarginata has pubescent, non-shiny leaves.

Click to expand...

you can get those from buying stepables (groundcover plant brand)

(i love new zealand brass buttons, which they carry)

Lime, thanks for the help, today I finally sat down and tagged all the plants I knew (only 2 mysteries left, will wait till they pitcher!
Some other photos:
The newest (and biggest so far) pitcher on my ventrata, the first nep I got! Not too shabby for windowsill conditions in the middle of winter!

Same goes for my miranda, which I think has ceased pitchering in the weather since this one was made!
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hugh-jass/6608805533/" title="002 by kwalton, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7020/6608805533_87337f2f7b.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="002"></a>
And the Miranda itself. Question, does the basal growth point in the photo look ready to be separated for it's own plant? Any advice on the method oyu would employ?

Looks ready, you can just use a scissors and cut off the basal as near to the base of the soil, and then treat it as a rooted cutting. I'd say leave it be (and I'm sure some people will agree with me too) unless you intend to propagate it and sell it ;)s

Ugh, somehow missed watering a singular Tiger x Mirabilis this week and finally saw it lurking in back, extremely withered. Gave it a good soaking, hoping it will renew growth from its tip!
While I wouldn't be selling the cutting, my thought was I could get another plant out of it, and maybe the the main growth point would be more robust?
I've seen some arguments over this a few times!
 
  • #13
So I think my mirabilis x tobaica is officially succumbing. I still have it under a bag in the grow rack, but I think all hope is lost.
Any thoughts on cause of death? See below, it's the only one of my plants not happy it seems.

Been a while, thought I'd post an update from some pics i snapped durign a waterign session today!

My. N. Albo seedlings that have been in my car for a few months, you can see one of the plants is starting to put out sizeable leaves!
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hugh-jass/6854748823/" title="Photo0192 by kwalton, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7052/6854748823_7bc07d9201.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Photo0192"></a>

An unknown I received as a cutting, really starting to take off.

Its only pitcher since getting it, any ideas? Red Leopard maybe?

Nepenthes sibuyanensis x copelandii...was doing rough...only slightly better, not sure what to do!

N. spec x talang putting out some sizeable leaves and a new pitcher, excited to see where it goes!

U. sandersonii after a few weeks in my care, already spreading out in its container, i just hope my other 4 types all follow suit. Think this is a good start?
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hugh-jass/6854745877/" title="Photo0197 by kwalton, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7031/6854745877_108203d8ce.jpg" width="375" height="500" alt="Photo0197"></a>

Hope everyone enjoys, happy growing!

Growing seedlings in the car is a clever idea. Did you worry about the plants overheating on hot/sunny days?
 
  • #16
The unknown cutting looks to be ventricosa x dubia.
 
  • #17
I keep the seedlings towards the front of the rack, which receives mostly fluorescent light since the sun is blocked from the rack above at the far edges, so too much sun isn't a concern. As far as heat, I have a fan running throughout the day that keeps temperatures around 75!

Nice plants!

Just a few minor updates I'm proud of!
My Spectabilis x Talangensis put out its second pitcher since in my care. Like its leaves, these are getting much bigger with each subsequent one!

A larger N. albomarginata I have finally putting out a pitcher after teasing me with sizable leaves these past few months!
